Nigerian Politics

Former presidential candidate Peter Obi has officially confirmed his intention to contest the 2027 elections, calling for national unity as Nigeria's ruling APC expands its dominance with governors defecting and INEC releasing the electoral timetable.

Peter Obi has launched 'Operation Rescue Nigeria' to mobilize citizens ahead of the 2027 elections, while opposition PDP lawmakers in Osun State break ranks to endorse President Tinubu's re-election bid.

Five federal lawmakers defect from PDP to APC citing presidential interventions, while Osun State witnesses internal party disputes over leadership legitimacy amid growing political realignments.
