Why I won’t lose 2027 presidential election – Peter Obi

Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate for the 2027 election, Peter Obi, has expressed confidence that he will emerge victorious, saying the contest is between Nigerians and the government in power rather than a personal political battle.

Obi stated this in an interview contained in a video that has been widely circulated on social media.

According to the former Anambra State governor, he sees himself as a representative of Nigerians who are seeking change, insisting that the outcome of the election would be determined by the people.

“I will not lose because the election is now between the people and the Nigerian government. I believe that people have suffered enough,” Obi said.

He added that the election should not be viewed as a contest centred on his personality.

“This election is not about me telling the people what to do because it’s the people who would either win or lose against the government. So, whatever they decide to do, I don’t know because I’m not controlling them. Even if they have to go to court, it is the people suing the government. So, this election is between the people and the government.”

Obi said he was merely serving as a vehicle through which Nigerians could pursue their aspirations.

“I’m only being used as a tool to stand for the people. If I win, one thing I must bring back is to ensure the rule of law; we must have law and order,” he said.
