Despite all denials, the two political heavyweights in the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Peter Obi and Musa Rabiu Kwankwaso will formally join the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), today (Sunday), paving the way for their aspirations for the 2027 Presidency.
The announcement was contained in an invite sent to journalists on the NDC Media WhatsApp Group on Sunday.
The declaration would take place by 2:00pm in Abuja.
They will be received by the National Leader of the NDC and former Governor of Bayelsa State, Henry Seriake Dickson and its National Chairman, Moses Cleopas, alongside members of the National Working Committee (NWC).
The party leaders have described the new development as a growing wave of confidence in the NDC nationwide.
Former Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has resigned from the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Obi made this known in a statement posted on his verified X handle on Sunday.
“Let me state clearly: my decision to leave the ADC is not because our highly respected Chairman, Sen. David Mark, treated me badly, nor because my leader and elder brother, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, or any other respected leaders did anything personally wrong to me. I will continue to respect them.
“However, the same Nigerian state and its agents that created unnecessary crises and hostility within the LP that forced me to leave now appear to be finding their way into the ADC, with endless court cases, internal battles, suspicion, and division, instead of focusing on deeper national problems and playing politics built more on control and exclusion than on service and nation-building,”
