Peter Obi Dumps Labour Party, Joins Coalition Party ADC
According to a NewsVista reporter, former presidential candidate Peter Obi has officially parted ways with the Labour Party and declared a new political home — the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
In a post made public this morning via his verified Facebook page, Obi announced that a coalition of allied movements has adopted the ADC as their platform to pursue a stronger, unified front in the 2027 general elections.
As part of the new structure, Senator David Mark is stepping in as National Chairman of the ADC, while former Osun State governor, Rauf Aregbesola, has been named National Secretary — a surprising political combo shaking up the opposition landscape.
Obi explained that the decision came after deep consultation and reflection on the nation’s current challenges. “No one group can fix Nigeria alone,” he said, urging Nigerians to embrace unity over division and focus on leadership that prioritizes citizens’ welfare.
“Our aim,” Obi stated, “is to present Nigerians with a credible, compassionate, and capable option in 2027. We must build bridges, not walls — even when those bridges feel uneasy.”
The post sparked immediate buzz online, amassing over 11,000 reactions and nearly 4,000 comments in under an hour, with supporters hailing the move as bold and visionary.
With this game-changing shift, it’s clear — the road to 2027 just took a dramatic new turn.
