Former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar has welcomed former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi into the African Democratic Congress (ADC), calling the development a significant milestone in Nigeria’s political coalition landscape
Peter Obi officially defected to the ADC on Wednesday at the Nike Lake Resort in Enugu State. Speaking at the event, Obi urged Nigerians and opposition forces to unite under a broad national coalition to “rescue Nigeria from poverty, disunity and democratic decline.”
He also criticised the current political leadership for state capture, economic mismanagement, and the erosion of democratic values.
Reacting on his verified X handle, Atiku described Obi’s entry into the ADC as the start of a stronger and more coordinated opposition capable of challenging for power and delivering good governance.
“Today marks a significant moment in the history of political coalitions in our country, with the official declaration of my brother and associate, Peter Obi, into the African Democratic Congress,” Atiku said.
He expressed optimism that Obi’s move would deepen collaboration among opposition leaders and energise efforts to provide Nigerians with a credible alternative.
“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,” he added.
Atiku also referenced the ADC coalition’s launch event, expressing hope that the development would encourage more Nigerians to support the coalition’s political agenda.
