Adams Oshiomhole, the Edo North Senator, has urged Nigerians to prevent Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), from securing the presidency in 2027, describing him as a figure with "no political future."
Oshiomhole made the remarks on Friday in Uyo, the capital of Akwa Ibom State, while speaking at a campaign rally for President Bola Tinubu. He advised voters not to allow individuals like Obi to "deceive them about violence" or harass the public, asserting that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is committed to peace rather than conflict.
During his address, Oshiomhole warned against allowing such figures to manipulate public perception. "I just want you to ask Peter Obi when he comes here next; he will try to make excuses that somebody is harassing him, but please don't allow people with no political future, because if a man is already sick and you touch him, you could be paying for his death," he stated.
The senator emphasized that the APC’s electoral strategy relies solely on democratic processes. "Nobody in the APC needs anything more than the ballot paper, ink, one man, one vote, one woman, one vote," Oshiomhole said. "We don't need any violence."
He further rejected allegations that his party is seeking conflict, claiming that opponents are attempting to distort the situation. "I can see that they are trying to twist the situation into thinking that we are looking for violence; we are a party of peace," Oshiomhole concluded.
