Peter Obi, a former presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 presidential election, is concluding plans to the Social Democratic Party (SDP).

Peter Obi, who has risen to become a phenomenal political figure in Nigeria, has lately become the darling of most big players in the political scene in Nigeria since his groundbreaking performance in the 2023 presidential election, where he defeated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in his stronghold state of Lagos.

According to figures declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Obi, a former governor of Anambra State, scored an overall 6,101,533, coming third behind Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the keenly contested election. And in Lagos, which is considered the stronghold of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Obi scored 582,454 votes, ahead of former Lagos governor Bola Tinubu, who scored 572,606, while Atiku Abubakar of the main opposition PDP scored 75,750 votes.

ENigeria News reports that prior to the elections, Peter Obi’s campaign had called on voters to reject both the ruling party (APC) and main opposition party (PDP), which have run Africa's most populous country for a quarter century, under whose governance he says corruption has flourished and insecurity has spread across the country.
Obi was most popular with the youth, but especially urban, relatively educated voters with access to smartphones and social media. He was, however, faced with an uphill struggle in rural areas in the north with a less sophisticated audience.

In the face of a surging economic crisis, inflation, and the rising cost of living in Nigeria, Obi’s popularity continues to soar, with many opposition leaders in Nigeria considering a coalition to possibly unseat the incumbent government come 2027.

Obi wiould be sideline woefully if this happens. And what betide him, with El-Rufai in that SDP na total smackdown.

Don't ever carry Hell-Rufai body for politics. If not, you go wound ooo. Bola knew what he was capable of hence the bay. if to sey El-Rufai dey inside Tinubu crew, he would have formed cabals in AsoRock.

Peter Obi should return to the PDP. Team up with Atiku and kick Wike out. Only APC and PDP can win presidential elections in Nigeria. I've said this countless times.

I want to see agulu clown serve elrufia my man!

If obi tries it, he will be gone forever, let me remind everyone, tinubu will win the next election, nobody will vote for him but he will win

Oga, that one is done and dusted. Upon wetin Buhari do for Tinubu not to succeed him (Buhari's body language), Tinubu still found his way in. Now that he has the Yam and the knife, humans can't stop him except if God choose to run the package.

Mr waka waka will SDP thinking that he will be favored but will be disappointed

A man who cannot build his Party cannot build Nigeria.
