Former presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Dumebi Kachikwu, has claimed that former President Goodluck Jonathan offered Labour Party’s Peter Obi a top government position to get him to withdraw from the 2027 presidential race.
Kachikwu, speaking at a press conference in Abuja on Friday, alleged that, “In order to weaken the South, they have now drafted in former President Jonathan into the race who is alleged to be offering Peter Obi the position of Coordinating Minister of the Economy for him to support his ambition.”
Kachikwu further claimed that Obi has been told in “very clear terms that he will never get northern votes as an Ibo man and as such he should accept to be Atiku’s running mate.”

He accused former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and a few northern elites of using the “weapons of region, religion, tongue, tribe and poverty as they convince millions of poor Northerners that a southern President Tinubu hates them and is the cause of their poverty.”
Kachikwu called on all Nigerians to resist these political figures.
He concluded with an analogy, stating, “We don’t burn our houses because we want to kill rats and cockroaches; sometimes we just need to make our houses clean so that rats and cockroaches leave on their own.”
He also prayed for a Nigeria that will “soon work for every one of us.”
