President Tinubu meets with Senate leadership on national issues

PDP chieftain Dan Ulasi expresses hope for Nigeria after private discussions with Peter Obi

Dan Ulasi, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, stated in an interview on Arise TV on Thursday that Nigerians would feel hopeful for the country if they engaged in private conversations with former Anambra State governor Peter Obi. Ulasi remarked that Obi possesses a clear concept of his objectives and how to achieve them for the benefit of the people. He confirmed that Obi had visited his residence four times in 2026, including recently after an appearance at Coal City University in Enugu. Ulasi mentioned that he has known Obi since his time as chairman of the National Republican Convention when Obi ran for the governorship of Anambra State. Ulasi also expressed his frustration with the PDP, stating that he does not believe the party, as currently constituted, can credibly challenge President Bola Tinubu in 2027, especially with Nyesom Wike as its national leader. He indicated that he would consider leaving the party if his concerns are not addressed.
