According to a report by Daily Post on Monday, October 13, 2025, a political analyst, Dr. Anabi Samuel, has advised former Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi, to abandon any plan of forming or joining a new political party ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
Dr. Anabi said there are growing rumours that Obi is considering creating a new platform after facing challenges in both the Labour Party (LP) and the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
He warned that such a move would be a political mistake that could end Obi’s ambition before the race begins.
According to the analyst, the political environment in 2027 will be far different from what it was in 2023.
He explained that the excitement and momentum that surrounded Obi’s 2023 campaign cannot be easily repeated, especially under a new or unknown political structure.
Dr. Anabi stressed that Nigerian politics is still dominated by parties with established networks, experienced leaders, and deep financial strength.
He said that any presidential hopeful without the backing of a strong, nationwide structure would struggle to compete with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
He advised Obi to focus on strengthening ties within a known party rather than starting afresh.
He stated that if Obi hopes to remain relevant in 2027, he must work with a well-rooted political organisation that can protect his votes and provide the resources needed to run a strong national campaign.
“There are rumours that he is planning to join a new political party. Obi should perish that thought quickly. 2027 is not like 2023, he needs a known party with good structure to win the 2027 election,” Anabi said.Continue, Full, Reading>>>>
