The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Mr Peter Obi, has explained why he teamed up with the coalition of political parties under the aegis of the African Democratic Coalition (ADC) to dislodge President Bola Tinubu from office in 2027.
According to him, he decided to join the opposition coalition because there is a need to “build bridges to dismantle” structures of poverty and insecurity in Nigeria.
Obi stated this in a post on his official Twitter (X) handle on Thursday.
“No one group can change Nigeria alone.
”To dismantle the structures that keep our people in poverty and insecurity, we must build bridges, not walls even when those bridges are uneasy,” he posted.
Obi, who came third in the 2023 general election, said his decision to join the coalition was based on the need for Nigeria’s progress.
“This decision was not made lightly.
“It comes from deep reflection on where we are as a country, and what must be done to move forward,” he further wrote.
It would be recalled that Obi also recently declared that he would contest for president again in the 2027 presidential elections.
