2027 Bombshell: PDP Chieftain Reveals Regions Peter Obi Will Sweep If He Returns!

A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Segun Showunmi, has stated that Peter Obi, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), stands a real chance of winning the 2027 election—but only if he returns to the PDP.

According to Showunmi, Obi, who hails from Anambra in the South East, enjoys massive support not only in his home region but also in the South-South, Christian-dominated parts of the North, and the North Central.

Speaking during an appearance on the Mic On Show podcast, Showunmi emphasized that while Obi has the potential to become Nigeria’s president, he needs the backing of a more established political platform to succeed.

“If the numbers and momentum currently behind Peter Obi follow him into the PDP, and he becomes the party’s presidential candidate, I can confidently say he would win the South East, South-South, Christian North, and North Central,” he said.

Peter Obi had defected from the PDP to the Labour Party ahead of the 2023 general elections. He ran against major contenders Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Atiku Abubakar of the PDP. Obi won 12 states, including the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), but the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared Tinubu the winner of the poll.
