Peter Obi dumps LP, Joins ADC
Peter Obi, former presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), has officially defected to the African Democratic Congress (ADC), a coalition of opposition leaders in Nigeria.
Obi, along with other political leaders from the South-East geopolitical zone, announced their decision on Wednesday at the Nike Lake Resort, Enugu.
They stated that after months of consultations, they had decided to join the ADC and collaborate with other opposition leaders from across the country to “rescue Nigeria from the poor governance of the All Progressives Congress (APC)”.
Those present at the event included former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Emeka Ihedioha; Senators Ben Obi, Victor Umeh, Tony Nwoye, and Gilbert Nnaji; Chief Onyema Ugochukwu; Enyinnya Abaribe; Senator Sam Egwu; as well as several other Senators and members of the House of Representatives.
Other party leaders from across the country were also in attendance, including former Senate President and National Chairman of the ADC, David Mark; former Sokoto State Governor, Senator Aminu Tambuwal; former governors from the South-East; and other dignitaries.
“We are ending this year with the hope that in 2026 we will begin a rescue journey,” Obi, a former governor of Anambra State, said.
“We will resist rigging of elections by every lawful means in 2027.”
