Peter Obi, the former Labour Party presidential candidate,  has officially picked the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) Expression of Interest and Nomination forms for the 2027 presidential election.

A special team, led by Princess Ada Ogbu, picked up the N60 million forms on his behalf, making him the sole presidential aspirant for the party. 

Announcing picking the form up, the former Anambra state governor said:

“…Yesterday, May 19th, in Abuja, I attended the Presidential screening organised by our party, which took over two and a half hours. They carefully reviewed all my documents, including my degree certificates, NYSC credentials, and age declarations…”

“During the process, I also addressed questions regarding my vision for a new Nigeria and the type of leadership our nation urgently needs right now. Following this, I was cleared and received the presidential nomination form I had previously paid for”

“I would like to commend the screening committee, led by former governor Sam Egwu, for their thorough and professional approach. Additionally, I appreciate our party’s leadership for upholding the democratic process”.
