Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ibrahim Abdullahi, has revealed that the party is working on strategies to bring Peter Obi back into its ranks. Abdullahi described the former Anambra State governor as a product of the PDP and a valuable political figure, noting that any party would benefit from having him. He highlighted that despite alleged electoral irregularities during the 2023 elections, Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, still secured over six million votes. Before the 2023 polls, Obi—who had previously contested as the PDP’s vice presidential candidate—left the party for the Labour Party, where he clinched the sole presidential ticket. He ran against Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the PDP’s Atiku Abubakar. Obi won in 12 states, including the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, but ultimately finished third behind Atiku and the declared winner, Tinubu, according to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). Speaking on Arise News on Thursday night, Abdullahi confirmed that efforts are underway to bring Obi back to the PDP. “Peter Obi is our product, and the PDP indeed wants to get him back. He is a very great capital for any political party, and any political party that will have him will be to their advantage,” he said. “The truth of the matter is if he had not gone the way he did in the last dispensation and proved that mettle to generate over six million in spite of the rigging and frustration of his chances in many of the states. Peter Obi is truly a political capital no doubt about it,” he added. Peter Obi recently stated that he remains a member of the Labour Party but is willing to collaborate with the newly formed coalition spearheaded by the African Democratic Congress (ADC). Meanwhile, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, who contested the last two presidential elections on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has officially resigned from the party. Atiku is now among the prominent political figures aligning under the emerging coalition ahead of the 2027 presidential election, with the shared goal of unseating the current president through democratic means.
