Presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 election, Peter Obi has dropped hint of being on his way out of the party to African Democratic Congress, ADC.
The defection hint is coming amid 48-hour ultimatum Julius Abure-led faction of the LP issued to Obi to resign from LP for his involvement in the unveiling of ADC interim executive on Wednesday in Abuja.
The former Anambra governor on Thursday via his X handle dropped hint of joining ADC like his colleagues in the coalition against President Bola Tinubu’s reelection.
“Our commitment is to sacrifice and work together towards the 2027 General Elections, ensuring that Nigeria gets a competent, capable, and compassionate leadership that will prioritise the nation’s future by putting the welfare of Nigerians first.
“This decision was not made lightly. It comes from deep reflection on where we are as a country and what must be done to move forward. No one group can change Nigeria alone. To dismantle the structures that keep our people in poverty and insecurity, we must build bridges, not walls—even when those bridges are uneasy,” he wrote.
