PDP Chieftain Anselm Ijebor Endorses Peter Obi for 2027 Presidency

A prominent chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Anselm Ijebor, has announced his backing for former Anambra State Governor and 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi in the forthcoming 2027 presidential election.

Ijebor said he is prepared to mobilise support for Obi, describing the former governor as a leader with a strong record of public service and a proven commitment to good governance.

He urged Nigerians to back candidates who possess the experience, vision, and capacity to address the nation’s challenges and deliver effective leadership.

While endorsing Obi, Ijebor also highlighted former Kano State Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, noting that both politicians have demonstrated dedication to public service and enjoy considerable support across the country.

The PDP stalwart emphasized that the 2027 election offers another opportunity for Nigerians to choose leaders capable of steering the nation toward progress.

“As the 2027 general election approaches, Nigerians have a chance to elect leaders with the experience, vision, and capacity to deliver good governance and rebuild the country,” Ijebor stated.

He commended Obi’s tenure as governor of Anambra State, pointing to his integrity, competence, and commitment to the state’s development.

Ijebor expressed confidence that an administration led by Obi would prioritise infrastructure, education, healthcare, agriculture, job creation, and security, while also promoting the empowerment of young people and women.

He added that Obi’s contributions to national unity and development have earned him recognition and support from various segments of society.

Ijebor called on youths, women, elders, and all stakeholders to actively participate in the democratic process, ensuring that campaigns remain peaceful and issue‑based.

“I call on every eligible voter, every youth, every woman, every elder, and every stakeholder to participate in the democratic process and support the candidate they believe can move Nigeria forward,” he said.

The PDP chieftain also urged political parties and their supporters to avoid violence, hate speech, and any actions that could undermine the electoral process, advocating for a calm and issue‑driven campaign atmosphere as the nation prepares for the 2027 general elections.
