Anambra State Challenges Peter Obi's 2027 Candidacy

The Anambra State Government has publicly challenged former governor Peter Obi to withdraw from the 2027 presidential race, citing his failure to honor key campaign promises related to debt management and timely payment of workers' salaries. In support of its claims, the state government released a document detailing salary arrears attributed to Obi's administration.

Concurrently, Babachir Lawal, a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, has joined the Nigeria Democratic Congress just three months after leaving the African Democratic Congress, where he resigned due to alleged manipulation of its presidential primary. Lawal has expressed his support for the Nigeria Democratic Congress's presidential ticket, which includes Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso, as the country approaches the 2027 general elections.
