They Have Been Doing Everything To Make Sure That I Don’t Contest, I bet you They Are Wasting Their Time – Peter Obi

The Presidential candidate of the Labour Party LP in the 2023 general elections and a  chieftain of the opposition Coalition platform the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Peter Obi, has said that he is not in any way scared of confronting the ruling All Progressive Congress, APC, in any fair and credible election, even with its over 30 State Governors.

This is as the former Anambra State Governor reaffirmed his unflinching determination to be on the ballot  in 2027 despite a plethora of  obstacles  placed on his way to frustrate him out of the race.

At an empowerment programme in Njikoka, Local Council in Anambra State, on Friday, Obi while vowing not to be intimidated by the large number of Governors in the APC , noted that he is ready to meet anybody in a free and fair contest.

He alleged that the powers-that-be have engaged in all manners of political shenanigans, including tinkering with and influencing the controversial amended Electoral Act, simply to frustrate him out of the presidential  race.

“You all know that I am now in ADC. People have been asking me why I left Labour Party, and  I told them that we have been in court in Labour Party over leadership, and we have been securing favourable judgment, but INEC refused to recognize us.

“But immediately I left on December 31,2025 ,they ( INEC) quickly recognized the orders they had been rejecting.

“You see all the things they have been doing including tinkering with the Electoral Act are being done because they don’t want me to contest the polls.

“But I want to tell them that with their 30 Governors, they should make the election free and fair ,and see who wins.

“I want to reassure you today that no matter what they do, I must contest the election.
