There are strong indications that the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has concluded arrangements to hand its presidential ticket to Mr. Peter Obi.
This development follows his formal defection from the Labour Party (LP) to the ADC, a move that has sent shockwaves through the Nigerian political landscape and triggered intense reactions from rival parties.
The shift appears to be driven by a coalition of political actors reportedly dissatisfied with the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Sources suggest that the ADC’s decision to offer the ticket to Mr. Obi is rooted in a strategic “single-term agreement.” Under this arrangement, Obi would reportedly serve only one term, ensuring that power returns to the North by the following election cycle.
Report gathered by this platform indicate that high-level negotiations involved prominent political figures, including:Senator David Mark, Rauf Aregbesola, which is to hand over the Party’s Presidential tickets to Mr. Peter Obi
These actors have allegedly been in discussions with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, urging him to support the transition with the understanding that the Northern interest would be prioritized after Obi’s single term.
While our sources indications is still been verified, the departure of Mr. Peter Obi from the Labour Party to the ADC marks a significant realignment.
Insiders suggest that aggrieved political factions are determined to challenge the current presidency through this unified front.
While Political analysts believe that with Mr. Obi securing the ADC ticket under such a broad coalition will give the Party victory, the political landscape has become significantly more competitive, presenting a formidable challenge to the APC in the upcoming elections.
