Peter Obi, the Labour Party's 2023 presidential candidate, has called on the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to allocate its 2027 presidential ticket to the southern region of Nigeria. Obi emphasized that this move would promote national equity, fairness, and unity as the country prepares for its next general election.
*Key Points from Obi's Appeal*
- *Reason for Zoning*: Obi questioned the fairness of having another northerner as a presidential candidate in 2027 when the South hasn't completed its turn. "Why should we have a northerner again when we can easily allow the south to complete their tenure to promote unity and cohesiveness?" he said.
- *Obi's Ambition*: Obi affirmed his readiness to run in the 2027 election, whether or not he secures the ADC coalition's backing. His chances in the election were described as "very bright".
- *Coalition Context*: The ADC has been adopted by a coalition of opposition parties led by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar as a platform to challenge President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 general election.
