Former Borno State Governor Senator Ali Modu Sheriff claims Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, is set to return to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to contest the 2027 presidential election.
“The information available to me is that at any moment from now Peter Obi will go back to PDP and run as a presidential candidate under PDP,” Sheriff said on Channels TV, adding that the African Democratic Congress (ADC) doesn’t exist in practical terms and will likely fade away within three months.
Truth live news reports that Obi left PDP in 2022 to secure the Labour Party presidential ticket.
The former Anambra governor is currently part of an opposition coalition under the ADC, aiming to unseat President Bola Tinubu in 2027.
However, with other coalition members like Atiku Abubakar and Rotimi Amaechi also eyeing the presidency, speculation about Obi’s potential return to PDP has intensified.
The Borno state former governor also insisted that, with the political structures available, the ruling party will retain victory in 2027.
