**APC's 30 Governors Won't Scare Me Off - Peter Obi** The 2027 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has spoken out against the growing number of governors from different parties defecting to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). Despite the party now controlling 30 governors, Obi remains resolute in his determination to contest the next presidential election. Addressing a gathering in Nimo, Anambra State, during an empowerment programme sponsored by a member of the House of Representatives, George Ozodinobi, Obi expressed his confidence in his ability to face any opposition. He argued that the conspiracy theories and attempts to discourage him from running will not deter him. Obi's comments come on the heels of his recent departure from the Labour Party to the African Democratic Congress. He cited the ongoing leadership issues in the Labour Party and the refusal of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to recognize the party's orders as reasons for his move. In a bold statement, Obi dared APC to make the 2027 presidential election free and fair, despite their numerical advantage. He urged the APC to allow the election to be a level playing field, where every contestant has an equal chance of winning. Obi's comments on the current state of the country were scathing. He described Nigeria as having completely collapsed, with the system no longer working. He emphasized his desire to redeem the country and make it work for all Nigerians, not just the wealthy few. In his words, "Nigeria has collapsed and is lying on the ground. Nigeria is not working because many rich Nigerians are hungry and greedy." Obi's determination to contest the next presidential election is a testament to his commitment to see Nigeria work for the benefit of all its citizens. As the 2027 presidential election draws near, Obi's stance has sent a strong message to the APC and other parties. His unwavering resolve to contest the election, despite the challenges ahead, has generated a lot of interest among Nigerians, who are eager to see a more functional and inclusive government.
