Peter Gregory Obi

Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC)
President (running mate Rabiu Kwankwaso) · Nationwide, Nigeria · 2027
PurposeA four-year, single-term reform agenda built around hands-on governance, redirected subsidy savings, and visible presence in affected regions.

Infrastructure
On infrastructure, his position is direct: existing roads and facilities should be fixed before new ones are built. On the fuel subsidy, he proposes redirecting the roughly ₦16 trillion in disclosed savings from its removal into agriculture, small businesses and job creation, while working to remove corruption from the subsidy system rather than reinstating it.

Agriculture/Food
For northern Nigeria specifically, the agenda includes transforming the use of arable land and supporting young people — including almajiri children — with skills training and employment in farming.

Security
On security, Obi says he would appoint competent security chiefs immediately, visit affected regions in person rather than direct operations from Abuja, and reject paying ransoms to kidnappers and insurgents.

Governance
He has also proposed deploying real-time electronic transmission of election results from polling units to a central collation centre as an electoral reform, without creating a parallel electoral body. On spending, the agenda calls for cutting excessive government expenditure and redirecting resources toward healthcare, education and reviving domestic manufacturing, alongside a pledge to spend vacations in Nigeria and remain visible in communities across the country.
