Peter Obi Defects to ADC, Declares 2027 Presidential Bid at Enugu Rally

Peter Obi has officially dumped the Labour Party for the African Democratic Congress (ADC), marking one of the most consequential political realignments ahead of the 2027 general elections. The former LP presidential candidate announced his defection on Wednesday, December 31, 2025, at a massive rally held at Nike Lake Resort in Enugu. The event drew key opposition figures, including ADC National Chairman David Mark, former Sokoto State Governor Aminu Tambuwal, South-East political leaders, and several former Labour Party lawmakers. Obi described his move as a “rescue journey” aimed at dismantling Nigeria’s current political structure and rebuilding governance ahead of 2027. He made it clear that he will contest the presidency for a single four-year term and ruled out any vice-presidential ambition. The defection triggered a wave of political movement, with sitting senators, former governors, and ex-National Assembly members joining the ADC. The Labour Party, however, reacted sharply, issuing Obi a 48-hour ultimatum to resign formally or face expulsion, calling the move a betrayal. Meanwhile, Abia State Governor Alex Otti confirmed he would remain with the LP. With the ADC now led by David Mark as National Chairman and Rauf Aregbesola as National Secretary, the party is rapidly emerging as a major opposition force. As 2027 draws closer, Obi’s defection may reshape the opposition landscape — and redefine the race for Nigeria’s presidency. #PeterObi #ADC #PeterObiADC #NigeriaPolitics #BreakingNews #PoliticalDefection #ADC2027 #Nigeria2027 #PresidentialRace #OppositionPolitics #LabourParty #LPNigeria #DavidMark #RaufAregbesola #AminuTambuwal #EnuguRally #NikeLakeResort #SouthEastPolitics #IgboPolitics #PowerShift #PoliticalRealignment #CoalitionPolitics #OppositionCoalition #2027Elections #NigeriaDecides #PresidentialAmbition #OneTermPledge #RescueMission #GovernanceReform #NationalPolitics #PoliticalNews #CurrentAffairs #CTNews #CountryTalk #TrendingNigeria #HeadlineNews #TopStories #BreakingPolitics #NigerianDemocracy #FederalPolitics #NationalUnity #ZoningDebate #EquityInPolitics #ADCLeadership #MassDefections #NationalAssembly #SenateNigeria #HouseOfReps #EmekaIhedioha #VictorUmeh #IretiKingibe #TonyNwoye #EyinnayaAbaribe #AlexOtti #AbiaPolitics #PartyCrisis #LabourPartyCrisis #PoliticalShock #EndOfYearPolitics #2025Politics #RoadTo2027 #NigeriaAtACrossroads #VoterAwareness #CivicEngagement #PoliticalAnalysis #AfricanPolitics #WestAfricaPolitics #LeadershipDebate #PowerAndPolitics
