I’m interested in better Nigeria – Peter Obi clears air on running with El-Rufai
Peter Obi, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), has clarified that his focus is on Nigeria’s success in the present rather than in the future.
This statement comes in response to speculations on social media suggesting that he was considering former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, as his running mate in the 2027 polls.
But Obi, while speaking with journalists in Gombe State shortly after donating a borehole to the ram market in Tike Pantami on Sunday, insisted he was not looking far ahead.
When asked about a possible collaboration with El-Rufai, he said: “Well, I’m more interested now in Nigeria’s success today than tomorrow.
“We are always concentrating on the election rather than what Nigerians are going through.
“My commitment is about Nigerians living in a better society, given a better life, and that’s my concern.”
