Human rights attorney Dele Farotimi has reiterated his backing for Peter Obi, stating that if the former governor of Anambra State decides to run for president in 2027, he will do so.
Talking about the 2027 elections now is distracting, Farotimi said on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics.
“If elections where our votes will count were held today, I would vote for Peter Gregory Obi, unless somebody else comes into the race that I think can do better. If it’s still the same lineup as the last time, it’s definitely Peter Obi I’m voting for.
“I hope he will be a little bolder with his policy platforms, but frankly speaking, in terms of capacity and integrity, there’s nobody I will be supporting.
“Something drastic has to happen for me to decide I’m not supporting Peter Obi. It might be that he teams up with some objectionable persons that I cannot stomach, and that’s a real possibility. However, outside of that, there’s nobody else.
“I actually think our discussions of elections today are a disservice to ourselves because we really cannot speak in terms of an election in our current circumstances,” he said.
Farotimi, the spokesperson for the Labour Party Presidential Campaign Council and a fervent advocate of Peter Obi in the 2023 presidential race, claims that his desire to see a better Nigeria is the reason behind his ongoing support.
