Peter Obi, a former Labour Party presidential candidate, has indicated his openness to considering a vice-presidential role if he finds a candidate who he believes is more capable than himself.
In a recent exclusive interview with New Central TV, the former Anambra governor expressed his goal of advancing Nigeria’s progress in the 2027 general elections.

While answering questions on the possibility of him accepting to be a vice-presidential candidate in 2027, Obi said: “Quite frankly, for me, I’m not desperate to be Nigerian president. I am desperate to see Nigeria work. If I see people who can do the work better, I will (consider being Vice President).
“I even have people who say I should not come out in 2027 and I said to them, offer yourself. And we will not put everybody on a scale.”
Obi asserted that he has no intention of leaving the Labour Party but is open to considering a merger with other politicians if their objectives align with his political vision.
He said: “Yes, I would be here (at Labour Party), and if anybody is coming for us to negotiate or to come together, he must tell me what his purposes.

“I will not join anybody for state capture or for winning the election. I want anybody to tell me how are we going to ensure that no child is left behind, how are we going to put those millions of out-of-school children back in school.”
