BREAKING: Peter Obi Defects To ADC Ahead Of 2027 Election

Peter Obi, who was the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 election, has officially left the party for the coalition-backed African Democratic Congress (ADC).

He announced his defection on Wednesday, December 31, in Enugu, describing the move as a strategic step ahead of the 2027 general election.

The former Anambra State governor said his decision was driven by the need to reposition the country and offer Nigerians a new direction.

“We are ending this year with the hope that in 2026 we will begin a rescue journey,” he said.

Obi also pledged to confront electoral malpractice in the next election, adding, “We will resist rigging of election by every lawful means in 2027.”
