Former Nigerian Vice President Atiku Abubakar has reacted positively to Peter Obi’s official defection from the Labour Party (LP) to the African Democratic Congress (ADC) ahead of the 2027 general election. Obi, the LP’s presidential candidate in the 2023 election, announced his move on Wednesday, December 31, 2025, during a political gathering at the Nike Lake Resort in Enugu State.
In a personally signed statement shared on his verified X account, Atiku described Obi’s entry into the ADC as a significant milestone for opposition politics in Nigeria. He expressed optimism that Obi’s defection would strengthen the ADC-led coalition and help build a credible opposition capable of forming a government that would deliver prosperity and peace to Nigerians.
Obi, while addressing supporters, stressed the need for early preparation ahead of 2027, urging Nigerians to verify their credentials and commit to resisting electoral malpractice through lawful means. The ADC leadership, through its spokesperson Bolaji Abdullahi, also welcomed Obi, describing his move as a strong start to the New Year. The defection has further reshaped Nigeria’s political landscape as alliances begin to form ahead of the next presidential election.
