Jerry Gana, a founding member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), believes that Peter Obi would defeat any opponent in the North if he runs under the PDP platform in the 2027 elections. According to Gana, the PDP is a formidable platform that would give Obi an edge in the region due to its strong presence and the fairness of the Northern people.
Gana attributes Obi’s potential success in the North to the region’s fair-minded people, stating that in the northern states, Obi under the PDP would defeat any candidate because of their fairness and justice. This suggests that Obi’s popularity and the PDP’s strength could combine to make him a formidable candidate in the region.
The PDP is described as a powerful platform that could attract significant support, potentially making it difficult for opponents to challenge effectively. Gana’s comments come amid ongoing discussions about Obi’s political future and potential alliances ahead of the 2027 elections.
Obi currently isn’t a PDP member, having left the party in May 2022 to join the Labour Party, with which he contested the 202 presidential election. There’s speculation about his potential return to PDP or exploration of other parties like the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Gana’s assessment highlights the potential benefits for Obi of aligning with the PDP, particularly in the North. If Obi were to run under the PDP banner, he might be able to tap into the party’s existing support base and leverage its organizational strength to boost his campaign. The outcome would depend on various factors, including Obi’s decision on his party affiliation and the political landscape in 2027.
