Settings the Stage for 2027: PDP Chieftain Backs Peter Obi as the Legitimate Candidate
"2027: Believer's Verdict on Peter Obi's Future Leadership over Other Candidates, Perceived as Imitations - PDP Notable Figure, Sowunmi"
In the countdown to the 2027 elections, Segun Sowunmi, a heavyweight in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), takes a stand. During a live broadcast in Abuja, Sowunmi wholeheartedly backs Peter Obi, the 2023 Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, as the only genuine contender for the top job.
According to sources, Sowunmi, a notable figure in the PDP, made this endorsement during a talk show organized by the Obidients Movement, run by the Cyrus Group and the Free Nigeria Foundation—both internationally renowned organizations—on the occasion of May Day.
In his address, Sowunmi expressed his conviction that Peter Obi, despite being from a different political camp, embodies the future of Nigeria. He stated, "I'm with the PDP, but the future of Nigeria rests in Peter Obi, the sole authentic candidate. The others, well, they're just posers."
Furthermore, he expressed discomfort with the continuing practice of power rotation that leaves the Igbo region, where Obi hails from, on the sidelines while the presumptive contender is readily available.
Senator Nenadi Usman, who was present at the event, reinforced the Labour Party's commitment to workers' welfare, stating that they are responsible for workers' livelihood across various sectors—from construction sites and hospitals to security forces. She emphasized five core areas of focus: fair wages, labour rights, health and housing programs, and strict adherence to labour laws.
"A government might brag about its accomplishments, but if it doesn't translate to the betterment of the people, it's a failure," warned Senator Usman. In conclusion, she encouraged Nigerians to remain resolute, echoing, "Hang in there; don't sell your birthright for the promise of a brighter future."
Senator Ireti Kingibe of the FCT added her two cents, urging Nigerian youths and Obidients to step up and seize control of their nation, stating that the status quo is detrimental. "You're too quiet, and we're sinking as a country," she cautioned.
