Presidential candidate of the Labour party in the 2023 general election, Peter Obi has called on stakeholders in the electricity sector to be strategic, saying that the recent increase in tariff should have been deliberated upon in order to provide soft landing for those affected.

Obi who was in Gombe State to commission a water project in the metropolis also dismissed reports that he plans to exit the labour party or going into an alliance with any politician ahead of the 2027 general election.

Despite losing the 2023 presidential election, Peter Obi has been vocal on governance issues in Nigeria, just as he has also continued his humanitarian intervention initiatives in parts of the country.
