Peter Obi Rejects Claims of Targeting Wike in 2027
Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), responded to claims made by Nyesom Wike, the Federal Capital Territory Minister, regarding his intentions if elected in the 2027 presidential election. Wike suggested he could become a target for Obi and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar if President Bola Tinubu loses re-election.
In a media chat in Port Harcourt, Wike expressed concerns about being pursued politically by Obi and Atiku, stating he would support Tinubu to avoid such a scenario. In an interview on 90 Minutes Africa, hosted by Rudolf Okonkwo, Obi rejected the notion that his presidential ambition was motivated by a desire to settle scores with political opponents.
He clarified that his campaign is focused on the future and the betterment of the country, not on pursuing individuals.
