The former governor of Anambra State, who contested the 2023 presidential election under the Labour Party, urged Nigerians to participate in the party’s ongoing online membership registration.
He called on supporters across the country to register and obtain membership cards, stressing that the movement aims to mobilise as many Nigerians as possible ahead of the next election cycle.
According to Obi, the 2027 election will represent a struggle for justice and better governance.
“The election in 2027 will be Nigerians against bad leadership. I assure you, the election of 2027 will be Nigerians fighting for justice,” he said.

Obi also reiterated that the South-East region deserves the opportunity to produce Nigeria’s president, adding that no geopolitical zone can claim to be more Nigerian than the South-East.
Meanwhile, activist and former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore has also declared his intention to challenge President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.
Sowore, who contested previous elections under the African Action Congress (AAC), said his administration would prioritise fixing Nigeria’s electricity crisis, insecurity, and unemployment if elected.
Speaking in Abuja, he emphasised that reliable electricity would drive industrial growth, create jobs, and help address the country’s security challenges.
Sowore also criticised the federal government’s “Renewed Hope” agenda, saying it has yet to deliver meaningful improvements in the lives of Nigerians.
He added that Nigeria requires a new generation of leadership capable of addressing the country’s longstanding political and economic challenges ahead of the 2027 elections.
