According to human rights attorney Dele Farotimi, if Peter Obi runs for president in 2027, he will still back him.
However, Farotimi characterized the initial conversations regarding the 2027 elections as a diversion.
He revealed this during an interview on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics broadcast on Sunday.
“Unless someone else runs who I think can do better, I would vote for Peter Gregory Obi if elections were held today where our votes would be counted.
“I will undoubtedly vote for Peter Obi if the lineup remains the same as it was the last time.
He stated, “I hope he will be a little bolder with his policy platforms, but honestly, there is no one else I would support in terms of capacity and integrity.”
Farotimi said it would take something very significant to change his mind.
He added, “Something drastic would have to happen for me to decide not to support Peter Obi. It might be that he aligns with some objectionable individuals I cannot tolerate and that’s a real possibility. However, outside of that, there’s no one else.”
He also criticised the premature focus on the next elections, saying the country is not in the right condition for such discussions.
“I actually think our conversations about elections at this point are a disservice to ourselves, because we really cannot speak of elections in our current circumstances,” he said.
He noted that his continued support for Obi is driven by his hope for a better Nigeria.
