Pat Utomi Backs Peter Obi for Presidency, Rejects VP Role
Political economist Prof. Pat Utomi has publicly endorsed Peter Obi's bid for the presidency in 2027. He made this declaration on his official X account, asserting that his support is contingent upon Obi's ambition to be president.
Utomi explicitly stated that he would cease to support Obi if he were to accept a vice-presidential position, saying, “The day Peter Obi accepts a Vice Presidential position, I will walk away from his corner.” He clarified that his position is not based on personal relationships but rather on the type of leadership he believes Nigeria requires. Utomi's comments reflect a broader concern about the direction of leadership in Nigeria, emphasizing the need for a clear vision for the country's future.
