Analyst Predicts Peter Obi May Leave ADC Ahead of 2027 Elections

Public affairs analyst Jide Ojo suggests that Peter Obi, a former vice president and ADC member, might switch parties before the 2027 elections as he failed to secure the ADC's presidential ticket. Obi's advantage in indirect primaries and Atiku's influence and financial strength within ADC could influence his decision.

Obi's strategic move could impact the opposition coalition, especially in the South East region. Atiku's defection to ADC in 2025 and his heavyweight status in the party add complexity to the upcoming presidential race.
