2027: Why Peter Obi can only get VP candidate slot - Adeyanju

Deji Adeyanju, lawyer and activist, has said that Peter Obi can only get the position of a vice presidential candidate in the 2027 election.

Adeyanju said the only thing the 2023 presidential candidate for the Labour Party is a VP slot for Atiku Abubakar should the coalition plan pull through.

In a post made on X, Adeyanju noted that almost all the Northern politicians have a strong advantage in the current political situation.

He also noted the Northern politicians are the ones who have what it takes to take over power from President Bola Tinubu and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

On the Obidient Movement, Adeyanju said its members would still find it difficult to read the handwriting on the wall on the happenings within the political space.

“The best Obi can get in 2027 is Atiku’s VP this is because Atiku and the northern politicians now hold all the aces.

“Only northern politicians have the capacity to challenge Tinubu. Deluded obidients won’t still be able to read the room even with the clear handwriting on the wall,” Adeyanju said.

Atiku has been at the forefront of the coalition campaign aimed at ousting President Tinubu from power.

A two-time presidential candidate, the former vice has also been working towards building alliances for the coalition plan.
