BREAKING: PDP Urges Peter Obi To Return, Hints At 2027 Presidential Ticket Support

PDP has urged Peter Obi to return and hinted at 2027 presidential ticket support.

 

NewsOnline Nigeria reports that Anambra State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has appealed to the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, in the 2023 election, Peter Obi, to return to the party.

 

This Nigeria news platform recalls that Obi defected to LP when he felt he could not achieve his presidential ambition within the PDP’s fold.

The PDP made the appeal following the enlarged meeting of the State Executive Committee, SEC, to review the state of the party and chart a way forward in Awka on Thursday.

 

According to the communique, signed by the State Chairman of the party, Chidi Chidebe, alliances with ideologically incompatible political formations in the guise of coalitions would likely not yield the desired success.

 

“The committee extends an open invitation to all aggrieved and former members of the PDP in Anambra, particularly our revered former governor, Mr Peter Obi, to return home and reunite with the now rejuvenated and restructured PDP.

 

“We will gladly welcome our brothers and sisters back to join us in the collective quest for a better Nigeria,” he said.

 

Chidebe told Anambra electorate to support Mr Jude Ezenwafor and his running mate, Mr Francis Okeke, in the coming election while urging the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to ensure a fair, transparent, and impartial electoral process.

 

While announcing the unanimous nomination of Chief Clems Ezike to fill the vacant position of National Ex-Officio from Anambra, Chidebe urged the Southeast Zonal Executive Committee under Chief Ali Odefa to recognise and transmit same to the national secretariat.
