2027: Peter Obi Can Become President – Tanko

Yunusa Tanko, the National Coordinator of the ‘Obidient Movement’, is confident that Peter Obi, can become Nigeria’s president in 2027.

Tanko stated this while speaking at a one-day symposium, themed “Repositioning the Obidient Movement for Greater Impact,” organised by the ‘Obidient’ Movement and Anambra State Support Groups at the All Saints Cathedral Auditorium in Onitsha, Anambra State, on Saturday.

He also noted that electoral malpractice in the 2023 election denied Obi victory, adding that a “new Nigeria” is possible if the people elect the right leaders.

Tanko said, “We are dedicated to promoting good governance and accountability by bringing together key stakeholders to discuss Nigeria’s future. This event underscores the movement’s commitment to unity, justice, and equity.

“Obi has the potential to emerge as president in 2027 if we put our acts together. We will have our agents prepared well before the 2027 general election, training and retraining them.

“A new Nigeria is possible if we start doing the right things in electing those who lead us. We are determined to end bad governance in Nigeria by ensuring the right people are elected. During the 2023 general election, we were accused of lacking structure, yet Peter Obi won the election but was denied victory due to electoral malpractice. This time, history will not repeat itself.

“Even the North is dissatisfied with the current government. We will advocate for electoral reform and champion it legally and physically. We will mobilise our people on the streets, and in the courts, and present our proposals to the National Assembly. The Obidient Movement seeks to empower Nigerian youths, advocating for meaningful change and accountability. Our mission aligns with the pursuit of good governance, justice, and equity.”
