Peter Obi Joins NDC, Stresses Unity for 2027 Elections

Peter Obi, the former governor of Anambra State, stated he is not desperate to become Nigeria's president or vice president after joining the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC). During an address to party members, he urged them to avoid internal legal disputes that could weaken the party's credibility and efforts to build a strong political platform ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Obi emphasized the importance of unity and discipline within the party, warning against actions that could destabilize the NDC. He reiterated that his political decisions are driven by a desire to build a successful country for all citizens, regardless of their background.

Obi's move to the NDC follows his exit from the African Democratic Congress (ADC), which he attributed to persistent internal crises and legal disputes. He maintained that his departure was not due to personal disagreements but rather the challenges posed by the party's internal dynamics.
