If Peter Obi could secure over six million votes on his own — without governors or major support — just imagine what he could achieve with 12 governors and a solid grassroots infrastructure
Segun Sowunmi, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has called on Peter Obi to return to the party ahead of the 2027 presidential election. In an interview on the Mic On podcast, Sowunmi argued that Obi needs a bigger platform.
“If I were Peter Obi, I would return to the PDP and make a strong case for the presidential ticket. I believe he should come back to the party,” he said.
He added that Obi’s 2023 Labour Party run demonstrated strong grassroots appeal. “If Peter Obi could secure over six million votes on his own — without governors or major support — just imagine what he could achieve with 12 governors and a solid grassroots infrastructure,” Sowunmi stated.
