The 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has addressed the possibility of a merger between the LP and the Peoples Democratic Party.

In an interview on NoireTV-GlobalBlackTV released on YouTube on Saturday, Obi also reacted to the prospect of being ed as a Southeast candidate in the 2027 presidential election by Atiku Abubakar, the PDP’s 2023 flagbearer.

Responding to the interviewer’s question, Obi expressed gratitude for Abubakar’s statement about potentially ing him as a result of the South-East candidate. “I commend him and I’m grateful for his statements, especially where he said he will me if it (the presidential ticket) goes to the South East,” Obi said.

However, Obi emphasised that his primary concern is not personal ambition or political maneuvering, but rather the well-being of Nigeria and its people. “I’m not desperate to be president, I’m desperate to see Nigeria work, especially for the poor people because we have a lot of potential,” he stated.

On the subject of a potential merger between the PDP and LP, Obi expressed openness to the idea, provided that the goal is to better govern Nigeria and unlock its vast potential. “If the merger is to be able to govern Nigeria properly, unlock all those things that will make Nigeria a better place, I’m for it,” he said.

Obi clarified that he has no interest in mergers or alliances solely to secure power or win elections.

“If it’s just a merger for election or state capture, I’m not for it or part of it, I don’t want to be part of anything like that,” he asserted.

The former Anambra State governor stressed the importance of unity and cooperation among individuals and parties, but only if the objective is to build a better Nigeria.

He said, “It might be at the party level, it might be at the individual level, might be at any level, but we must come together to be able to build a better Nigeria.”

Anybody that is still ing this APC's evil regime that have reduced our living standard to nothing has mental issues and need proper check up. Nigeria would not have gotten to this level of mess had APC not stole Obi's mandate. We are with you sir(Peter Obi) come rain or sunshine

The enemies of Nigeria won't like this golden statement that can hardly come from the regular Nigerian politicians.

But it came from a regular Nigerian political prostitute without any decency or integrity.

"I'm desperate to see Nigeria work especially for the poor people" but;
-you hiked tuition fees and said education is not for the poor after heavy and brutal protests from same póór students.
- you didn't build schools that will be affordable for the poor.
- you didn't build industries that will employ the poor people rather you prefer importing and selling at prices that the same poor people can't afford.
- you asked same póór people to donate for your electioneering campaign despite being a billionaire.
- you can't build sporting facilities to improve the chances of the poor making it in sports.
Tell us more stories obi.
We know you are more interested in "I'm the first lgb0 man to win elections in modern day Nigerîà", "I'm the first to use an unpopular party to be president", "I'm the first this...", "I'm the first that..."
You will NEVER be president of Nigeria, just rest.
You already fluffed your lines in the last election.

He's actually way Iesser than a regular Nigerîàn politician.
Seeing through his Iies is not difficult.

Merge and loss

Make una merge now before 2026 so people go prepare well including tinubu

So, the so-called righteous one wants to merge with structure of criminality?

Hmm

This man has no iota of integrity. Those he called structures of criminality are what he's planning to merge with.


Unless he agrees to be Atiku's vice he can't smell the presidency

Very good.

Merge and loss
Leaders fighting for their pocket

There’s nothing special to consider..

He’s just going back to where he came from. He has been used. He’ll still be re-used.

If you like contest from now till 2039, you will not win apc

Same goes to Atiku

Only a united opposition can defeat apc

It’s already too late

LP and PDP as been reduced to nothing that why even Atiku might not be willing to contest 2027 election

2023 was the best chance to drive away APC from Abuja

For real progress

But your ers said anyone who votes Pdp is after their lives.

Obi actually believes his ers are brainless and will swallow anything he throws at them. Unfortunately, their responses indicate that he is very correct

That's the only way to get rid of Tinubu but I doubt it's possibility because INEC is compromised

peter obi will never be president

Thank God... you realize that you can not fight this battle alone.... Obi is a good man don't forget am a northerner... And i hate Apc with ion..

Political prostitute on the beat. No shame, no integrity, no decency, no principle.
Just a regular desperate clown.
Thank God we sane Nigerian rejected this gbajue.
You can merge with the devil for all we care but you will never be President of Nigeria

As VP I guess.

That's a big come down - from presidential candidate of a supposedly saintly Special Purpose Vehicle called Labour party to vice presidential candidate of one of the most corrupt political parties the world has ever known.

Think of a triumvirate of Messrs Atiku, Dino Melaye, and Obi on a campaign platform shouting peeeeedeepeeeeee!!!

Ewww!

Mr Obi, are you no longer the saint you claimed to be?

Good for him, because I don't see LP surviving as a party till 2027 with all these leadership crises rocking the party every now and then.

Immediately this guy enters Pdp, they must clip his wings. Very important. That's if Pdp is still interested in winning any national election in the nearest future.

Let him go to the Pdp and let Wike finish work on him.

hmmm

You gon lose bro, I know you mean 2047 After Tinubu and Kassim
