Obi: Nobody Offered Me a Vice Presidential Ticket to Refuse

Peter Obi said he was never offered a vice presidential ticket that he turned down. He made the statement during an interview on Arise TV while responding to a question about his past alliance with Atiku Abubakar. The interviewer asked why Obi was no longer willing to serve as Atiku’s running mate after they contested together in 2019. Obi replied: “Nobody offered me Vice Presidential ticket and I rejected it.” I remember some Atiku supporters previously arguing that Obi needed to accept a VP slot quickly or it could go to another politician. Obi’s latest response has revived the debate over opposition alliances ahead of 2027.
