2027: Peter Obi Says ‘Nigeria’s Problem Can be Solved from the North’

Peter Obi, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), has revealed that the 2027 general elections may be his final attempt at seeking Nigeria’s highest office.

In a video message now circulating widely online, Obi confirmed his intention to contest again on the LP platform but indicated he might retire from active politics afterward.

His media aide, Umar Ibrahim, verified the authenticity of the clip, describing it as recent.

The former Anambra State governor cited age as a key reason for possibly stepping back after 2027.

“I’ll be 65 by then,” Obi said, suggesting that he may no longer be inclined to pursue public office beyond that point.

His remarks come amid ongoing speculation about his future political ambitions following his strong showing in the 2023 election.

He said: “I believe we should have a retirement age for politicians. By 2027, I will be 65.

“If the presidency goes back to the North in 2031, it may not return to the South until 2039 — by then, I will be 77. I wouldn’t want to run for office at that age. It would make a mess of everything”

Obi assured his audience of continued support for young Nigerians who are serious about national transformation.

“Even if I’m not contesting, I will always support those of you who are committed to real change, with whatever resources I can provide,” he stated.
