The African Democratic Congress (ADC) said the coalition remains strong despite the resignation of Mr Peter Obi, the 2023 Labour Party (LP) Presidential Candidate.

The Lagos State ADC Chairman, Mr George Ashiru, disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) yesterday in Lagos, while reacting to the Obi’s resignation from the coalition.

NAN recalls that many Nigeria’s opposition figures, including Obi had adopted ADC as a political platform to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2027 general elections.

Reacting, Ashiru described Obi’s decision as consistent with his political history, noting that the aspirant often reassessed his positions when party consensus does not favour him. “I think that is typical of Mr Peter Obi’s political approach.

Once consensus is not reached in a way that favours him, he may keep his options open. “From his explanation, there have been multiple issues. He believes he needs to take a decision that is in his best interest and service to Nigeria.”
