He disclosed his plans while addressing supporters at a campaign event for ADC candidates in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Area Council elections, held at the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC).
Peter Obi emphasized that he is aiming for the top position within the party and will not accept a subordinate role in its long-term political strategy.
He highlighted that the AMAC election is closely linked to his broader political ambitions and urged party members and local residents to actively support the ADC candidate.
According to Obi, victory in the AMAC poll will be instrumental in advancing his political mission, reaffirming that his participation in the upcoming elections is as a leading contender, not a supporting figure.
“This coming election, support us in AMAC; it will help me. Your support in AMAC is critical to our journey. I am involved and contesting the coming election as number one. When I come back, you will see. I assure you,” Obi said.
Obi’s supporters, particularly members of the Obidient Movement, have intensified pressure on the ADC leadership to adopt him as the party’s standard-bearer for 2027, with many insisting that the ticket should go to Obi alone.
However, the ADC is hosting several other high-profile politicians with presidential ambitions, including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi.
