On the heels of speculations over a possible coalition among opposition figures ahead of the 2027 general elections, the Obidient Movement has firmly denied claims that Peter Obi, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, has been offered a vice-presidential slot with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar as the presidential candidate.
In a statement issued on Monday and signed by its Director of Strategic Communications and Media, Nana Kazaure, the movement described the report as “entirely baseless” and “imaginary to the author”.
“The Obidient Movement has been inundated with calls from our members within and outside the country, including other members of the public, regarding a media publication claiming that our principal, Peter Obi, has been offered a running mate position to Alhaji Atiku Abubakar in the new coalition being formed ahead of 2027.
“Even though the publication is imaginary to the author, we find it appropriate to react in view of possible far-reaching misconceptions in the public space,” the statement read.
