Atiku's Allies Eye Peter Obi as Running Mate for 2027 Presidential Election

Atiku's allies in the African Democratic Congress (ADC) are exploring the possibility of pairing former Vice President Peter Obi as his running mate for the 2027 presidential election. Despite Obi declining the offer, figures like Chibuik Rotimi Amaechi and Dele Momodu are urging Obi to consider forming an alliance to challenge President Bola Tinubu.

The potential alliance aims to strengthen the opposition against the ruling Progress Congress (APC). In the past, Atiku and Obi ran together in the 2019 elections but lost to Muhammadu Buhari.

The discussions highlight the political dynamics and strategies shaping the upcoming elections.
