Peter Obi's Camp Urges South Zoning for 2027 Elections

The camp of Peter Obi, the former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, has issued a warning regarding the necessity of zoning the presidency to the South for the party to have a viable chance in the 2027 elections. Yunusa, a spokesperson for Obi, made these remarks during an appearance on Channels Television's Politics Today on Wednesday.

He argued that maintaining the current power rotation is crucial for improving the party's chances against the incumbent All Progressives Congress (APC). Yunusa cautioned that deviating from this arrangement could jeopardize electoral prospects and urged the Nigerian public to assess the political landscape critically.

He also highlighted the support for this position among the public amid ongoing debates about power rotation within political parties, as they begin early calculations for the upcoming presidential race.
