Former Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi, has alleged that forces within the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu are working to undermine his chances ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
Speaking during a radio interview, Obi claimed there were deliberate efforts to block him from emerging as a candidate under any political platform in the next general elections.
He described the situation as troubling, warning that it raises concerns about the integrity of Nigeria’s democratic process.
Obi also took aim at elements of the country’s electoral framework, criticising provisions in the recently signed electoral law.
He described as “shameful” what he termed the omission of forgery as a punishable electoral offence, arguing that such gaps could weaken accountability in the system.
Reiterating his stance on governance, the former Labour Party presidential candidate insisted that Nigeria’s challenges demand competent and experienced leadership, particularly in economic management and administration.
He maintained that he possesses the capacity to steer the country in a better direction.
