A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, Aisha Yesufu has warned the 2023 presidential of the Labour Party, Peter Obi not to aim at being running mate to any presidential candidate in the 2027 elections.
Aisha, a popular socio-political activist, in a video currently making the rounds on social media, vowed that she would work against any presidential ticket that has Obi as vice presidential candidate.
She said the former Anambra State governor is the best among the aspirants and should be given the presidential ticket.
Yusuf said, “I’m giving you people my word. If Peter Obi emerges as a running mate to anyone, I will work against that ticket.
“In my little capacity, I will work against them even if I don’t support any other candidates. Why are we always asking the best to be the second?”
Obi, who joined the ADC, a party adopted by a coalition of opposition leaders plotting President Bola Tinubu’s removal, is one of the aspirants eyeing the party’s ticket.
There are, however, indications that former vice president, Atiku Abubakar may emerge the flagbearer of the party and possibly pick Obi as deputy.
