Former presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 general election, Peter Obi, has cleared the air on his rumoured plans to officially join the Africa Democratic Congress (ADC) along with other prominent members of his OBIdient Movement on December 31st.
The former Anambra State governor who made the clarification while speaking during an X Space on Sunday night, dismissed the rumours of him joining the ADC, stating that he has always been a member of the party and was part of the coalition from its inception.
According to Obi, being an integral part of the ADC since its formation is contrary to suggestions by critics who have been questioning his membership and role within the party.
The former presidential candidate added that he had actively supported the ADC over the years, citing his public campaign and endorsement of Dr Mo for the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC) chairmanship position in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Obi further stated that his involvement in the ADC-led coalition was not driven by personal ambition or the quest for power, but by a commitment to ensuring that Nigeria works for all its citizens.

“I am not joining ADC. I can’t re-join what I am already a part of,” Obi said.
“I’ve been part of the coalition from day one. Nobody is stepping down for me in ADC. We have all agreed to work together and Atiku remains my respected leader.”
“I am not in this coalition to grab power. I am here because I want to make Nigeria work,” he said.
He urged Nigerians to focus on building a credible political alternative anchored on competence, accountability and service, rather than being distracted by misinformation and partisan attacks.
