PDP Founder Gana Praises Peter Obi’s Credibility, Reveals Talks to Bring Him Back for 2027 Election

Professor Jerry Gana, a founding member of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), discussed Peter Obi’s political influence and the dynamics of the 2027 Nigerian general election in an AIT interview.
Gana described Peter Obi, a former PDP member, as a credible and respected figure in Nigerian politics. He confirmed efforts to persuade Obi to return to the PDP.
Reflecting on the 2023 election, Gana stated that, if he were former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, he would have stepped aside to support Obi, a move that could have positioned Atiku as a true statesman.
