The Digest:
The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has appealed to Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso, chieftains of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), to join its platform and contest the 2027 elections. In an X post, the party hinted at a "two-week window" for the duo to join and secure the presidential ticket, featuring a photo of the two leaders with the caption "Nigeria will be OK." The move comes as the ADC battles a leadership crisis.
Key Points:
- The "OK Movement" was launched last week to support an Obi-Kwankwaso ticket.
- INEC has fixed May 30, 2026, as the deadline for party register submissions.
- The ADC is facing a leadership crisis with a Supreme Court judgment pending.
- Opposition parties have called for an extension of the primary deadline.
- The NDC's offer provides an alternative path for Obi and Kwankwaso.
The NDC is positioning itself as a potential platform for the Obi-Kwankwaso ticket amid ADC uncertainty.
