Peter Obi Denies Asking Amaechi to Withdraw from Race
The media office of Peter Obi, the former governor of Anambra State, has officially denied reports suggesting that he requested Rotimi Amaechi to step down from the 2027 presidential race. The clarification came in a statement signed by Ibrahim Umar, emphasizing that Obi did not plead with Amaechi to withdraw his candidacy.
This statement was made in the context of ongoing political consultations within the African Democratic Congress (ADC), where both Obi and Amaechi are considered key contenders for the party's presidential ticket ahead of the 2027 general elections. The denial is particularly significant as it arises during a period of heightened political activity and consultation among stakeholders within the ADC, led by David Mark.
