A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Engr. Anselm Ijebor, has described the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, as Nigerians’ preferred presidential candidate ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Ijebor said he would mobilise support for Obi, describing him as a leader with a proven record of public service and effective governance.
He urged Nigerians to back candidates they believe possess the experience, vision and capacity to tackle the country’s challenges and deliver meaningful development.
The PDP stalwart also acknowledged former Kano State Governor, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, saying both leaders have demonstrated commitment to public service and continue to enjoy widespread support among Nigerians.
“As the 2027 general election approaches, Nigerians have an opportunity to elect leaders with the experience, vision and capacity to deliver good governance and rebuild the country,” he said.
Ijebor praised Obi’s performance during his tenure as governor of Anambra State, stating that he displayed integrity, competence and a strong commitment to development.
He expressed confidence that an Obi-led administration would prioritise critical sectors, including infrastructure, education, healthcare, agriculture, job creation, security, as well as youth and women empowerment.
