The Labour Party (LP) says it would field former Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi, as its candidate in the 2027 general elections.

Revealing this during an interview on Channels Television, monitored from our studios, National Publicity Secretary of the Labour Party, AbayomiArabambi, said President Bola Tinubu would not have a smooth sail in the next general polls.

Obi was the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in 2023 but lost to Tinubu, the then-candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC). He came third in the polls, trailing behind former Vice President, AtikuAbubakar of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
