ADC Leaders Act to Prevent Obi and Kwankwaso's Defection

Leaders of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) are actively working to prevent Peter Obi, a former presidential candidate, and Rabiu Kwankwaso from defecting to the National Democratic Coalition (NDC). This move comes as both politicians are reportedly in advanced discussions about their potential collaboration for the 2027 presidential elections.

ADC chieftains, including Bolaji Abdullahi and Okei Nwosu, have expressed their commitment to ensuring that Obi and Kwankwaso remain within the party. Abdullahi confirmed that while the party is aware of the discussions, it is working diligently to address grievances that may lead to their departure.

The ADC aims to implement measures to ensure a transparent nomination process for the presidential ticket, reflecting their confidence in resolving the issues at hand. The situation highlights the ongoing political maneuvering as various parties prepare for the upcoming elections.
