The presidential candidate for the Labour Party (LP) in 2023, Peter Obi, has dissociated himself from any political coalition with the sole aim of grabbing power during the 2027 general election.
Obi made the declaration on Monday at the National Conference on Strengthening Democracy in Nigeria in Abuja.
He argued that previous coalitions in Nigeria’s politics have basically been for the purpose of power grabbing, stressing that he cannot be part of a situation where politicians abandon the country to collapse in a desperation to grab political power.
Obi contended that democracy has collapsed in the country, lamenting that the effects of it could be seen in the daily living and bleak future of Nigerian children.
