2023 Presidency: Peter Obi To Announce New Political Party

Former People’s Democratic Party (PDP) presidential aspirant and former governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi will in the next 24 hours announce his new political party ahead of the 2023 general elections.

On Wednesday reported that Peter Obi tendered his resignation letter to the National Chairman of the party, Iyorchia Ayu.

It was gathered that Obi quit the main opposition party after failing to get the majority of the delegates to his side ahead of the PDP special convention to elect its presidential candidate for the 2023 general elections.

The financial expert who enjoys massive support from the youths is reportedly in talks with Labour Party, Social Democratic Party (SDP) and Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso-led New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP).

It was learned that Peter Obi is looking to join a coalition that could defeat the PDP and ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the forthcoming presidential election.

“We are in talks with Labour Party, SDP and a few others. We will announce our new party in the next 24 hours.

“It will be a party that is also youth-friendly since we have discovered that the youths form the bulk of our supporters,” said an associate of the former governor.

He added, “There is a plan for some major parties to form a mega party although this is coming quite late. Discussions are still ongoing but Obi is expected to be the presidential candidate.

“Kwankwaso is also part of the discussions. Everything will be clear by Thursday,” said a chieftain of the PDP.
