The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, is reportedly weighing his political options following the decision of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to zone its 2027 presidential ticket to the South.
Naija News reports that the National Executive Committee of the party, at its 102nd meeting on Monday, zoned the presidential ticket to the South, while retaining the current National Working Committee headed by Ambassador Umar Damagum.
Obi, who left the PDP alongside his supporters ahead of the 2023 general elections, is now said to be under pressure from party leaders to make a comeback.
Though Obi has remained silent on whether he would return to the PDP or stay in the Labour Party, close associates have hinted at ongoing consultations.
One of the founding leaders of the Obidient Movement, Katch Ononuju, in an interview with Vanguard, disclosed that talks were already taking place.
Ononuju said, “Discussions are on. It is no longer a secret, Obi is still consulting. People all over are talking to him and he is talking to them. If you remember, the refusal of the PDP to zone the presidential ticket to the South after President Muhammadu Buhari’s eight years was the main reason we left.”
