Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has described the defection of former Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, to the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as a significant moment in the history of political coalitions in Nigeria.
Peter Obi, along with some other political leaders from the South-East geopolitical zone, officially declared for the ADC on Wednesday in Enugu State.
Giving reasons for their choice, the leaders explained that they took the decision to “rescue Nigeria from the poor governance of the All Progressives Congress (APC)”.
According to Obi, it is time for the opposition leaders to join hands and work together in rescuing Nigeria in the 2027 election.
He called on opposition members to come together under the umbrella of the ADC, led by David Mark, to rescue Nigeria.
Reacting to the development, Atiku, in a post via 𝕏 on Wednesday, said the party look forward to a robust working relationship that will foster a virile opposition, one that will ultimately form a government capable of bringing prosperity and peace to our people.
He wrote, “Today marks a significant moment in the history of political coalitions in our country, with the official declaration of my brother and associate,
@PeterObi, into the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
“It is my pleasure to welcome him officially, as we look forward to a robust working relationship that will foster a virile opposition, one that will ultimately form a government capable of bringing prosperity and peace to our people. And as the @ADCNig Coalition train leaves Enugu, the capital of the Southeast region, I hope this inspires other patriots to join the cause with the train headed in their direction.”
