2027 presidency: ‘Everyone running against Peter Obi not Tinubu’ – Sam Amadi

Director of the Abuja School of Social Thought and Politics, Sam Amadi, has said candidates are running against the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, President candidate, Peter Obi and not President Bola Tinubu.

Amadi said the 2027 election is the most farcical election in Nigeria’s history.

Posting on X, Amadi wrote: “Everyone is running against @PeterObi for the presidency, not against the incumbent president @officialABAT.

“This is the most farcical election in Nigeria’s history. And some self-proclaimed intellectuals and technocrats are fully immersed in the illogic.”

Obi, who contested the 2023 presidential election under the Labour Party, LP, will be running again in 2027.

He will be facing the incumbent, President Bola Tinubu; African Democratic Congress, ADC, Atiku Abubakar; who are the leading contenders in the election.
