“Unless somebody else comes into the race that I think can do better… it’s definitely Peter Obi I’m voting for.”
Human rights lawyer and political activist, Dele Farotimi, has declared his continued support for Peter Obi ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, Farotimi said he would vote for the former Anambra State governor again unless a superior candidate emerges.
“If elections where our votes will count were held today, I will vote for Peter Gregory Obi,” he said. “Unless somebody else comes into the race that I think can do better… it’s definitely Peter Obi I’m voting for.”
Farotimi, who was a spokesperson for the Labour Party’s Presidential Campaign Council in 2023, emphasized that his support is based on Obi’s perceived integrity and capacity. He noted that only a drastic shift, such as Obi aligning with “objectionable persons,” could alter his position.
He also cautioned against premature election discussions, saying, “We really cannot speak in terms of an election in our current circumstances.”
Farotimi said his commitment is driven by the vision of a better Nigeria.
