Prominent politicians Peter Obi and Musa Kwankwaso have left the African Democratic Congress (ADC) for the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), triggering a wave of defections that is reshaping the political landscape ahead of the upcoming elections.<\/p>\n
The moves, which also drew other politicians from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), come as the May 10 deadline set by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) draws near. A recent Supreme Court ruling had also weakened both the ADC and the PDP as viable political platforms, pushing opposition figures to seek new ground.<\/p>\n
At a strategic meeting in Abuja with NDC leadership, Obi and Kwankwaso outlined their vision for tackling Nigeria’s most pressing challenges, including insecurity and economic hardship.<\/p>\n
Obi described the current political environment as toxic, pointing to persistent hostility and external interference in opposition parties as key reasons for his exit. He reaffirmed his commitment to building a united Nigeria and called for an end to internal political disputes.<\/p>\n
Kwankwaso echoed similar views, stressing that education and empowerment are essential to fostering unity and lasting peace in the country.<\/p>\n
The NDC, described by its leaders as an ideological movement grounded in integrity and inclusive governance, welcomed the new members with optimism, positioning itself as a major force heading into the next election cycle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
