The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi, has defected to the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Obi officially joined the opposition coalition party on Wednesday, December 31, 2025, at an event currently taking place at the Nike Lake Resort, Enugu. The gathering is being attended by national leaders and key stakeholders of the ADC.
The former Governor of Anambra State said his decision to defect ahead of the 2027 general elections is driven by the need to rescue and transform Nigeria.
Speaking at the ongoing event, Obi vowed to resist any form of electoral malpractice in the 2027 polls.
“We are ending this year with the hope that in 2026 we will begin a rescue journey,” he declared.
“We will resist rigging of elections by every lawful means in 2027,” Obi added.
More details are expected as the event continues.
