Prior to the general elections in 2027, Dan Ulasi, the former chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Anambra, has urged the party to form a strategic partnership with Peter Obi, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP).
In an interview with ARISE News on Friday, April 25, 2025, Ulasi said that Peter Obi is still one of the few reliable people in Nigerian politics and that the PDP shouldn’t be afraid to work with him, according to Naija News.
According to Ulasi, if the PDP is free of too ambitious and inferior individuals who do not wish to be overshadowed, Peter Obi, the former governor of Anambra State, is a force of growth.
He pointed out that establishing relations with Obi is a positive step if the party’s priorities are indeed national development and credible leadership.
According to Ulasi, Peter Obi received more over six million votes in the most recent presidential election, demonstrating his viability and influence in Nigerian politics.
He said, “Peter Obi is a factor of progress. He’s a success himself. In the last presidential election, he had over six million votes. So if there are no over ambitious, inordinately ambitious people in PDP who don’t want to be overshadowed, who don’t want their positions to be diluted, yes, Peter Obi is somebody the party should openly approach because we’re talking about leadership for a better government of Nigeria, not a better person for Nigeria, not a better party for Nigeria.
“There are individuals who have the characteristics of performance, who have integrity, who have honor, and Peter Obi is one of the very few in this country who has such qualities.
“If the party does decide to approach him and solicit my advice, I have enough contact and relationship with Peter Obi that I will convince him about the future and why it is necessary for all of us to come together to be able to stop the menace that is going on in Abuja presently.”
