Ali Modu Sheriff, former governor of Borno State, on Monday said the 2027 presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Peter Obi can’t stay in a party that won’t make him its presidential candidate.
Sheriff claimed that Obi will exit any political party that fails to make him presidential candidate.
Featuring on Channels Television’s Politics Today, the former governor insisted that Obi is pursuing an agenda.
He said: “The point is that he, Peter Obi, is a candidate and the last time you invited me here I told you that people like Peter Obi can never be in one political party because he is pursuing an agenda.
“If he can’t be a presidential candidate he would move out. Today he has gone to like 20 political parties to become a candidate.
“If I, Ali Modu Sheriff, will come out here and say that I only believe in Borno State and not Nigeria then I’m not fit to be Nigerian because our leaders have fought to keep us together.”
