Peter Obi has said he never rejected an offer to become the running mate to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
Obi made the clarification while featuring in an interview on Arise Television.
Responding to a question on whether he had ruled out becoming Atiku’s running mate, Obi said no such offer had been presented to him.
“Who said that? No, nobody… There wasn’t even any party where that offer was on the table,” he said.
“Now, how do you say? You mean now? You mean this election, or are they offering it through you?
“No. I wasn’t even in a position where that was being offered and I refused.”
Obi’s comment comes amid ongoing political realignments ahead of the 2027 general elections, with opposition figures exploring possible alliances and coalition arrangements.
