The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has pledged that his administration would never persecute political opponents if he wins the 2027 presidential election.
Speaking in an interview with DW, the former Anambra State governor said he would promote a viable opposition and engage them in dialogue on national issues.
“The system must work the way it should function. I would never prosecute anybody politically, I would never do anything wrong while in office. I would not go after opponents.

Obi emphasized that his priority would be ensuring that Nigeria’s governance system functions effectively, with inclusivity and collaboration at its core.
