Anambra Pastor Predicts NDC Will Drop Obi for 2027

Bishop Patrick Osaji, an Anambra-based cleric, has predicted that the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) will declare Peter Obi unfit to run for its presidential ticket in the 2027 general elections. In a trending video, Osaji claims there will be a fallout between Obi and the NDC, suggesting that the party will strip him of the presidential ticket.

He further asserts that Obi will be involved in legal proceedings challenging the party's decision, which could extend beyond the election window. Osaji did not provide specific evidence for his claims, and neither the NDC nor Obi's camp has responded to the prediction.

Peter Obi resigned from the African Democratic Congress on May 2, 2026, and was ratified as the NDC's presidential candidate on May 29, 2026. His emergence on the NDC platform represents a significant shift in his political journey following his 2023 presidential run, which garnered considerable interest, especially among younger Nigerians.

Obi has faced criticism for his perceived lack of loyalty to a single political party.
