Sam Amadi, former chairman of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, NERC, has claimed that nobody can defeat President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election with Mr Peter Obi.

Obi was the erstwhile presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 general election.

Amadi’s remark comes amid reports that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar had offered Mr Peter Obi of the Labour Party the vice-presidential slot in a proposed single-term coalition ticket ahead of the 2027 general elections.

However, the former Anambra State Governor maintained that he is only interested in the coalition against hunger, poverty, and the bad state of healthcare and education in the country.

But in a post on X on Tuesday, Amadi, who is also Director of the Abuja School of Social and Political Thoughts, maintained that Obi is indispensable to whoever wants to defeat Tinubu comes 2027.

He said: “The truth is that without @PeterObi there is no way anyone can defeat Tinubu. What this truth implies is for you to figure out. This explains the melancholy and aggression on this street.

“The circle can be squared with respect and deep good faith.”
