Peter Obi, a former presidential candidate and leader of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has claimed that the federal government is trying to keep him from running for president in 2027.
Peter Obi made the accusation while advocating for an open and reliable electoral process.
In a video, Peter Obi addressed a group of Nigerians and discussed his political path while thinking back on previous difficulties.
He mentioned that he has faced legal challenges and political exclusion.
“I have been in this very difficult business where people abandoned you completely for one election. I spent three years in court and no one followed me there.
“I have been impeached, returned to my village where no one wanted to see me, and removed from office twice,” he said.

“The Federal Government of Nigeria does not want me to contest in the 2027 presidential election. We are not asking for much. They already have the governors and ministers; we are only asking for a free and fair election,” he said.
He also suggested that those in power have greater access to influential networks.
“They have all the contacts. They know the queen and the king, while we do not. They have everything,” he added.
