In a major political twist ahead of the 2027 general elections, former presidential candidate Peter Obi has officially aligned with the African Democratic Congress (ADC), effectively parting ways with the Labour Party.
In his statement, Obi revealed that Distinguished Senator David Mark will serve as the National Chairman of the ADC, while H.E. Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola takes on the role of National Secretary. The decision marks a bold move as multiple political movements come together under one umbrella, aiming to offer Nigerians a united and credible alternative.
According to Obi, this step was taken after deep reflection on the current state of Nigeria, adding that "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."
Obi also made it clear that no single group can rescue Nigeria alone, stressing the need to dismantle structures that breed poverty and insecurity. In his words, "We must build bridges, not walls, even when those bridges are uneasy."
The move has already generated massive reactions across social media, with many Nigerians praising Obi’s decision to join forces with other credible voices for a stronger 2027 bid. The post gathered over 11,000 likes, 3,800 comments, and hundreds of shares within the first hour of going live.
With this development, the 2027 race just got even more interesting.
A New Nigeria is POsSible.
