The Obidient Movement said the 2023 Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi would need time to decide to return to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) or not.

Legit.ng recall that the PDP zoned the 2027 presidential ticket to the south on Monday, August 25, 2025.

The National Coordinator, Obidient Movement, Tanko Yunusa, said Obi needed to protect the Labour Party’s candidate in the November 8 governorship election.

Yunusa said Obi would study the dynamics and make a choice on what to do next as he pursues his 2027 presidential ambition.

As reported by The Punch, Yunusa stated this during a telephone conversation while reacting to the decision of the PDD to zone the 2027 presidential ticket to the south.

“That (possible return to PDP) will be a discussion that will be done at the appropriate time. Like he has said before, he has to protect the candidature of his people who are running for elections in November.

“He has room to study the situation until what he said he would do in November. We need to give him time to look at the pros and cons of the situation before he makes his move. He will definitely make his decision public.”
