The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has expressed support for Peter Obi’s 2027 presidential bid, stating that he doesn’t need a coalition with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) or support from political heavyweights to defeat President Bola Tinubu.

NLC’s Confidence in Obi
Theophilus Ndubuaku, deputy president of the NLC political commission, described Obi as a “sellable candidate” who can leverage his local and international connections to win the election.

Obi’s National Appeal
Ndubuaku emphasized Obi’s broad national appeal, cutting across all six geopolitical zones, and dismissed concerns over zoning and power rotation.
