Peter Obi Denies VP Offer from Atiku Abubakar

Peter Obi, the presidential candidate for the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), has refuted claims that he was offered the vice presidential position by Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), ahead of the 2027 elections. Obi clarified that he has never been part of a political party where such an offer was made.
In a September 2024 statement, he expressed his commitment to addressing critical issues such as education and poverty, stating, “I want them to explain how we will ensure that no child is left behind.” During an interview with Arise Television, Obi reiterated that he was not in a position to refuse an offer that was never presented to him. He also mentioned that both he and Atiku are candidates from different parties, making any collaboration a matter of party negotiations rather than personal decisions.
