Peter Obi Defects to ADC from Labour Party in Major Political Shift
Former presidential candidate Peter Obi has defected from the Labour Party to the African Democratic Congress (ADC) during a political gathering in Enugu State. The move is seen as a significant realignment in the South East region's politics, with Obi's strong grassroots support expected to boost the ADC's national appeal.
Obi, a former governor of Anambra State, has been active in politics and hinted at contesting the 2023 presidential election. His defection is described as a turning point for the ADC, aiming to strengthen the party's chances in future elections.
