Peter Obi, who was the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 election, has clarified his decision to join the newly formed opposition coalition, stating its purpose is to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general elections.
In a post shared on his official X handle on Thursday, Obi emphasized that no single group possesses the capacity to transform Nigeria on its own.
He added that, in order to effectively counter the APC, it is essential to build alliances, even if doing so proves difficult or uncomfortable.

The former Anambra State governor further affirmed that all members of the coalition have committed to collaborating towards the upcoming 2027 general elections.
He wrote, “Yesterday, the coalition members formally adopted the African Democratic Congress (ADC) for the 2027 Nigeria General Elections with Distinguished Senator David Mark serving as the National Chairman and H.E. Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola serving as the National Secretary.
“Our commitment is to sacrifice and work together towards the 2027 General Elections, ensuring that Nigeria gets a competent, capable, and compassionate leadership that will prioritise the nation’s future by putting the welfare of Nigerians first.
“This decision was not made lightly. It comes from deep reflection on where we are as a country and what must be done to move forward.
“No one group can change Nigeria alone. To dismantle the structures that keep our people in poverty and insecurity, we must build bridges, not walls even when those bridges are uneasy.”
