Obi believes four years is enough to implement his development agenda.
Peter Obi, Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, has formally submitted a one-term presidency proposal to a coalition formed to challenge President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 election.
Yunusa Tanko, national coordinator of the Obidient Movement Worldwide, confirmed the move during a chieftaincy ceremony in Gombe on Tuesday.
“We have presented it to the coalition. It is there for them to make a decision. But we are confident it can work. This is a pronouncement rooted in integrity, and Peter Obi embodies that,” Tanko said.
Obi, alongside Atiku Abubakar, Rotimi Amaechi, and Nasir el-Rufai, is spearheading a new political front which on Tuesday adopted the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as its platform.
Tanko added: “That shows you how prepared and focused he is. Even stabilising electricity alone will solve a multitude of problems.”
“He is promising that under his leadership, Nigeria will become an exporting country again. Planes will no longer leave our airports empty,” he said.
