Atiku Abubakar Woos Opposition Figures to Join ADC After Peter Obi's Defection

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar is actively courting other opposition figures to join the African Democratic Congress (ADC) following Peter Obi's departure from the Labour Party. At a declaration ceremony in Enugu State, Obi pledged to resist electoral malpractice and urged opposition leaders to unite against challenges like poverty and undemocratic practices.

Atiku hailed Obi's move as a landmark moment for opposition coalition-building in Nigeria, expressing optimism for a robust working relationship within the ADC-led coalition. The shift marks a significant political development in the country's history, signaling a potential alternative government formation.
