The presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi has said he may not run for president again after the 2027 election.
Naija News reports that he made this known during an interview on Nevon HQ, where he spoke about a question from a secondary school student.
The student had asked if he would still contest for the presidency again if he runs in 2027 and does not win.
Obi explained that his thinking is shaped by Nigeria’s zoning system, which moves power between the North and the South.
The former Anambra Governor noted that if he contests in 2027 and loses, the presidency may move to the North in 2031 under the usual arrangement.
Obi added that by the time power could return to the South after that cycle, he would be around 78 years old.
Because of that, he said he does not see himself still actively seeking the office at that stage of life, making 2027 likely his final attempt.
