Obi: Why I won’t contest for vice president in 2027

Former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi has declared that he will not be a vice-presidential candidate in the 2027 presidential election.

Obi made this known while speaking during an X Spaces conversation on Sunday, December 28, 2025.

The Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 election also announced his intention to vie for the presidency in 2027, adding that he will not be anyone’s running partner.

He said he has not gotten all the experience he has, only to end up as a vice president.

The former governor said: “I am not travelling round the world to learn governance to be vice president.

“I know how to turn Nigeria around. I built my business from scratch and have more experience than any candidate, including the sitting President.

“Peter Obi will be on the ballot in 2027. I need your support. I need your prayers.”
