Peter Obi Backed By PDP Can Do Wonders In The Next Presidential Race – Segun Sowunmi

Prominent PDP member, Segun Sowunmi has come out to urge Peter Obi to return to the party to boost his chances in the next presidential race.

He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, since Obi was able to garner over six million votes in the 2023 presidential election without the backing of governors or significant party machinery, he’ll definitely could have a greater impact if backed by a major political structure.

He added that PDP was originally conceived in the bedroom of the late Alex Ekwueme, so he doesn’t understand why Igbos and other Southern leaders are refusing to work together.

His words, “Looking ahead to 2027, the PDP of Nigeria will open its processes, announce when the forms are available, and anyone who feels confident enough to contest should step forward and do so.

If I were Peter Obi, I would return to the PDP and make a strong case for the presidential ticket. I believe he should come back to the party. This party was originally conceived in the bedroom of (the late) Alex Ekwueme; so, I don’t understand why the Igbo, along with southern leaders and other influential figures within the PDP, can’t come together and say, ‘Alright, we recognise this – here’s the ticket.’

We’ve covered every region, but we have not gone to the South-East yet. Still, Obi is free to make his own decisions. If his numbers and the animated energy that is following him were to follow him into the PDP and he is the presidential candidate, I can guarantee you he would take the South East, South-South, the Christian North and North Central.”

WOW.
