Former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has been cleared to participate in the presidential primary of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, ahead of the 2027 general election.
Chairman of the party’s National Screening Committee, Sam Egwu, announced this in a video shared on the party’s official X account Wednesday.
The screening exercise took place in Abuja on Tuesday, during which the committee reviewed Obi’s eligibility to contest the presidency under the party’s constitution and relevant electoral laws.
Egwu said the committee was satisfied that the former Anambra State governor met all constitutional and statutory requirements needed to participate in the primary election.
