2027: OBI UNVEILS ‘OPERATION RESCUE NIGERIA,’ CALLS FOR UNITY AHEAD OF PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

As political activities gradually intensify ahead of Nigeria’s 2027 presidential election, former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has called on Nigerians to join what he termed “Operation Rescue Nigeria.”
Speaking during a recent engagement with supporters, Obi emphasized the need for national unity, good governance, and active citizen participation to reposition the country.
What Obi Said
According to Obi, “Operation Rescue Nigeria” is a movement aimed at mobilizing Nigerians across ethnic, religious, and political lines to demand accountability, economic reforms, and leadership focused on development.
He stressed that the 2027 election would be a defining moment for the country, urging citizens not to remain passive but to actively participate in shaping Nigeria’s political future.
Political Context
Obi, who contested in the 2023 presidential election, remains a key figure in Nigeria’s opposition politics. His renewed call signals early grassroots mobilization as political alignments and strategies begin to take shape ahead of 2027.
Political analysts believe such early messaging could influence voter engagement and coalition-building in the coming months.
Why It Matters
With growing concerns over economic hardship, security challenges, and governance issues, Obi’s call may resonate with a segment of the population seeking political change.
As 2027 approaches, political rhetoric and coalition strategies are expected to intensify nationwide.
