Pat Utomi Backs Peter Obi for 2027 Presidency Bid
Prof. Pat Utomi, a political economist, has publicly endorsed Peter Obi's ambition to run for the presidency in 2027. He made this declaration via a post on his official X account on September 25, emphasizing that his support is contingent upon Obi's pursuit of the presidency.
Utomi stated, "I am not supporting the idea of Peter Obi becoming somebody else’s Vice President," and warned that he would cease his support if Obi were to accept a vice-presidential position. He clarified that his position is not based on personal relationships but rather on the leadership direction he believes Nigeria requires.
Utomi's comments reflect a broader concern for the type of leadership that Nigeria needs moving forward, indicating a desire for a strong presidential candidate rather than a secondary role.
