NDC Gains 10 Million Members After Peter Obi Joins

The Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC) reported registering over 10 million new members within 24 hours after Peter Obi, the former governor of Anambra State, joined the party. Adebayo, a key figure in the NDC, made this claim during an interview on Arise TV.

He responded to criticisms regarding Obi's potential to become Nigeria's president, particularly after his defection from the African Democratic Congress (ADC). Adebayo dismissed concerns that Obi's movement would weaken political chances ahead of the 2027 elections, insisting that Obi continues to be a strong political force with support across the country.

He emphasized that Obi's appeal transcends party affiliation, and the growing interest in the NDC reflects a wider political engagement among Nigerians. The collaboration between Obi and Kwankwaso is seen as an effort to create a robust opposition platform, especially among voters dissatisfied with the current political structure.
