The Digest:

The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has criticized Peter Obi’s defection to the African Democratic Congress (ADC), labeling it a politically calculated move by a “coalition forged in grievance” rather than a genuine ideological shift.

Key Points:
  • The Lagos APC described the defection as the end of "the pretence of political independence."
  • It accused the ADC of being a "political scrapyard" for "rejected ambitions" and a "cartel of convenience."
  • The party asserted that Obi’s history of party switches undermines claims of principled opposition.
  • It criticized the opposition coalition for lacking a clear ideology and for being silent on critical issues like national security.
  • The APC defended the Tinubu administration’s focus on economic stabilization and institutional reforms.
  • It claimed the defection timing and venue were deliberately symbolic, aimed at "political coding."
  • The statement insinuated Obi has already agreed to be a running mate to a "perennial presidential candidate" in a pre-determined arrangement.
This forceful response from the APC’s key state chapter signals the beginning of a fierce political counter-narrative, framing the opposition’s unity as an opportunistic and destabilizing project ahead of the 2027 elections.
