The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, (LP), Peter Obi, has said he is open to being Nigeria’s vice-president in the future.
The former Anambra State Governor has however set some conditions to be met before taking such a decision.
Obi, who made the disclosure in a recent interview which was aired on YouTube, explained that his main goal is to help Nigeria move forward. According to him he believes that for the next general election in 2027, the country needs strong leadership to bring positive change.
When asked if he would accept the role of Vice-president, Obi said: “Quite frankly, for me, I’m not desperate to be Nigeria’s president. I am desperate to see Nigeria work. If I see people who can do the work better, I will (consider being Vice-president).
“I even have people who say I should not come out in 2027 and I said to them, offer yourself. And we will not put everybody on a scale”, he added.
Despite being open to working with others, Obi made it clear that he has no plans to leave the Labour Party.
