Former governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, has vowed not to be intimidated by the large number of governors in the All Progressives Congress (APC). Addressing his supporters in Njikoka, Anambra State, on Friday, he stated that he would contest the 2027 presidential election fearlessly. Obi lamented that Nigeria has completely collapsed and is in need of redemption. He stated that there have been several orchestrations meant to put him off the contest, but he will not be deterred. He said, "Nigeria has collapsed and is already lying on the ground. Nigeria is not working because many rich Nigerians are hungry and greedy. They have everything they need, but still scavenging for more. "This is an empowerment programe, but you will be surprised that many well to do persons will come here to struggle for things they have no need for. Go to their compound you will see better vehicles than the ones they are struggling for. "This country is skewed against the poor, and that is why we are working to become President. We want a country where the son of a nobody can become somebody without knowing anybody. "I have always said it that I'm not desperate to be the President of Nigeria, but I'm desperate to see a Nigeria that works. "You all know that I'm now in ADC. People have been asking me why I left LP, but I told them that we have been in court in Labour Party over leadership, and we have been securing favourable judgement, but INEC refused to recognize us, but when I left on 31 December, they recognized the same orders they were rejecting. "You see all the things they have been tinkering with the constitution, some of them are because they don't want me to contest. But I want to tell them that with their 30 governors, they should make the election free and fair and see who wins.
