House of Representatives aspirants on the platform of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, say former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, would be voted out if he becomes president in 2027 and fails to deliver on his promises.
The aspirants made the remark on Friday at a press conference in Abuja, organised in collaboration with the Coalition for the Protection of Democracy (COPDEM).
The event followed the defection of Obi and former Kano State governor, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, to the NDC amid political realignments ahead of the 2027 general elections.
One of the aspirants for Aboh Mbaise/Ngor Okpala Federal Constituency in Imo State, Nnamdi Iroegbu, said any administration, including a potential Obi presidency, would be subject to public accountability.
“Every government must be held accountable, including a Peter Obi presidency. If he fails to deliver on the mandate of Nigerians, he will be voted out,” he said.
Another aspirant for Anaocha/Njikoka/Dunukofia Federal Constituency, Kingsley Ndube, said lawmakers on the platform would prioritise public interest over personal gains.
“We will always ask questions,” he said, adding that legislative duties must remain people-focused.
In the Federal Capital Territory, NDC aspirant for Bwari Constituency, Gambari Ismaila, said the party was built on the need for political change and national restructuring.
He said the coalition behind the NDC aimed to promote accountability, equity, and improved governance.
