Segun Sowunmi, a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, has warned the Labour Party presidential flag-bearer in 2023, Peter Obi, that the planned coalition is only interested in taking advantage of his popularity for the 2027 general elections.
Sowunmi made the declaration as he questioned reported plans to convince Obi to join a coalition of political parties spearheaded by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, former Kaduna State Governor Nasiru El-Rufai, and other top opposition figures.
Several reports have emerged that Atiku has proposed Obi as his running mate in the coalition, promising to support the former Anambra Governor after a one-year term.
But Sowunmi questioned the coalition planners’ approach, labeling the movement a selfish adventure designed to favour a set of politicians.

“The fundamentals by which you build a movement to rescue a nation can’t be predominantly too selfish. All that talks they’re making about coalition, they are just trying to take advantage of Peter Obi and it’s his business if he allows them to take advantage of him,” he said on Channels TV’s Politics Today on Friday, May 23, 2025
