Former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi and ex-Kano State Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso have officially defected to the newly registered Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC).
Both Obi and Kwankwaso earlier today (Sunday) dumped the African Democratic Congress, ADC.
The National Leader of NDC, Senator Seriake Dickson, announced that Obi and Kwankwaso joined NDC during a press conference in Abuja, which was attended by both politicians.
Dickson remarked that the partnership of Obi and Kwankwaso would make Nigeria “OK,” using the abbreviation of their surnames.
Other political heavyweights present at the unveiling included Aisha Binani, the All Progressives Congress (APC) 2023 governorship candidate for Adamawa; Senator Victor Umeh, representing Anambra Central; and Kwankwaso’s ally, Buba Galadima.
In his address, Kwankwaso stated that the NDC’s ideology, which focuses on education and empowerment, aligns with his own.
Obi added that he and Kwankwaso would collaborate with NDC stakeholders to build a Nigeria that works for everyone.
He also urged the government not to interfere with the NDC, alleging past interference with the NNPP, Labour Party, and the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
