Peter Obi is coming. The consultations are serious. North, South, East, West, the coalition is building. 2027 is not going to be business as usual. #ObiIsComing #PeterObi2027.

Very soon, ADC will turn into an Igbo party affair just like LP was in the 2023 election.
@Archimeokey
He is meeting inconsequential people just to be seen as active and in consultation. If care is not taken, Peter Obi won't be on the ballot.
@soggy4love
Peter is not a strategic leader or thinker; if not, he wouldn’t have found himself in this mess of jumping from one party to another. He should have solved the internal conflict in the LP and, by now, have the party's presidential ticket.
@OkpanachiSulie1
If the Supreme Court justices accept the appeal by the PDP national chairman, Barrister Kebiru Tanimu Turaki, SAN, more than 80%, including Peter Obi and Kwankaso, will immediately abandon ADC back to PDP. For now, all eyes are on PDP.

Whoever is advising Obi on political matters has failed woefully at his job.

Why Peter Obi can't rejoin Labour Party
Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that Senator Nenadi Usman announced that Peter Obi is barred from Labour Party's presidential race in the 2027 election.
He said the former Anambra state governor's return to the LP is impossible due to the Electoral Act membership deadlines.
Usman credited Obi for the Labour Party's 2023 electoral success and her own defection from the PDP.
