A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dan Ulasi, has said that former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, currently lacks a defined political platform ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Ulasi, who spoke on Friday during an interview on Arise Television’s Morning Show, noted that while the Nigerian Constitution gives every citizen the right to contest elections, Obi’s political direction remains uncertain.
He recalled that the former Anambra State governor contested the 2023 presidential election on the platform of the Labour Party but was recently spotted at an African Democratic Congress (ADC) event, raising questions about his political base for 2027.
The PDP stalwart, however, argued that Obi’s nationwide appeal and credibility could significantly boost the chances of any party he aligns with in the next general election.
He said, “In terms of the presidency for 2027, I believe Peter Obi so far has no platform. To the best of my knowledge, he ran last time with Labour Party. He’s attended the luncheon of what do they call it ADC. So I don’t know what his platform will be.
“I’ll be happy if he joins PDP, because he will bring his credibility to bear on the party as we are reorganising.
“I mean, he’s not a name you want to introduce in Nigerian politics. Any party that has him today, we know that they have already made more than 30, 40% of the election because he has tremendous support across this country.”
