Former Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi, on Tuesday downplayed speculations that former President Goodluck Jonathan could threaten his 2027 presidential ambition.
Obi spoke after undergoing the party’s presidential screening exercise at the national secretariat of the Nigeria Democratic Congress in Abuja, which lasted over two hours.
Reacting to reports that Jonathan may join the 2027 presidential race on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, Obi said he was unconcerned about who might contest against him.
He said, “Actually, I’m not aware of that. But democracy is about people offering themselves for service and being voted for.
“I’m not in any way going around looking for who and who is contesting. I’m concentrating on how to build a better Nigeria.”
