Senate Minority Leader Abba Moro says Labour Party’s Peter Obi stands a strong chance of clinching the PDP presidential ticket if he returns, stressing that “nothing is certain in politics.”
2027: Peter Obi Stands Strong Chance of Picking PDP Presidential Ticket if He Returns – Sen. Abba Moro
The Senate Minority Leader and lawmaker representing Benue South Senatorial District, Abba Moro, has said that the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi, could secure the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential ticket if he decides to return to the party.
Moro made this assertion on Tuesday during an interview on Politics Today, a current affairs programme on Channels Television.
When asked about the likelihood of Obi rejoining the PDP ahead of the 2027 general elections, Moro emphasized the unpredictable nature of Nigerian politics.
“As a party we are yet to speak to Peter Obi; some people are already talking to him, and he stands a chance of getting the party’s ticket if he returns.
“The conversation is predicated on the belief by such individuals that if Peter Obi comes back and is the most favoured candidate, the most supported candidate, and becomes a candidate, the PDP will make an impact in the 2027 general elections.”
The statement has further fueled speculations about potential political realignments ahead of the next presidential race, with many observers noting that Obi’s return to the PDP could reshape the dynamics of opposition politics in Nigeria. Read More
