I’m Part of a Coalition Against Poor Governance — Peter Obi Finally Takes Position
Former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi has broken his silence on recent reports linking him to a coalition of opposition parties ahead of the 2027 general elections, stating that his involvement is rooted not in political ambition but in the fight against poor governance.
Obi, who was the Labour Party’s flagbearer in the 2023 elections, addressed growing speculation that he has entered into an alliance with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.

BREAKING: Peter Obi, Atiku Strike One-Term Deal Ahead of 2027 Elections
Unconfirmed reports suggest Atiku may have proposed a deal in which he would serve only a single term as president if elected, with Obi as his vice president — a claim that has fueled public debate.
At a public event in Abuja over the weekend, where he donated N10 million each to support a school and hospital project spearheaded by the Anglican Church, Obi sidestepped confirming any such arrangement.

Instead, he reiterated his core political philosophy: leadership should be about service, not positions.
“I’m part of a coalition against hunger, poverty, and poor healthcare,” Obi said. “Politics, to me, isn’t about chasing positions but about doing what is right. I’m focused on education and improving lives, not political appointments.”
Sources close to both Obi and Atiku say the two political heavyweights have been in private talks, along with other key opposition figures, in an effort to build a formidable alliance capable of unseating the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the next presidential race.

However, no official agreement has been disclosed.
As Nigeria’s political landscape begins to stir ahead of 2027, Obi’s comments offer a glimpse into a broader movement focused on governance reform and social impact — whether or not it translates into a formal political ticket remains to be seen.
