Obi and Kwankwaso to Join NDC Amid ADC Crisis

The political landscape in Nigeria is shifting as Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso prepare to join the National Democratic Coalition (NDC) on Monday. This decision comes amid growing concerns regarding Atiku Abubakar's influence within the African Democratic Congress (ADC), which has been viewed as a potential setback for the opposition's unity ahead of the 2027 elections.

Sources indicate that the leaders are finalizing arrangements to exit the ADC, driven by the need to avoid internal crises similar to those previously experienced. The announcement of this new political platform is expected soon, following discussions involving key figures such as Seriake Dickson.

Buba Galadima, a prominent member of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, disclosed that Obi and Kwankwaso's alliance could present a viable alternative for the electorate. However, political analysts have cautioned that divisions within the opposition could hinder their chances in the upcoming elections.
