The Digest:
Former Anambra governor Peter Obi and ex-Kano governor Rabiu Kwankwaso, alongside Anambra Central senator Victor Umeh, are currently at the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC) office in Abuja. According to DAILY POST, the politicians are expected to officially declare their decision to join the party. This comes hours after Obi officially resigned from the African Democratic Congress (ADC), citing lingering internal crises. Although Kwankwaso has yet to formally announce his resignation from ADC, reports suggest he is aligned with Obi as both men move closer to securing the 'Obi-Kwankwaso' OK ticket.
Key Points:
- Obi and Kwankwaso appear set to join the NDC together, ending weeks of speculation.
- The 'OK ticket' coalition moves closer to reality with this joint appearance.
- Senator Victor Umeh adds weight to the defection, signalling broader support.
- Obi's ADC exit came only hours before this NDC visit.
- Kwankwaso's formal ADC resignation is now widely expected.
Watch for the official declaration from the NDC office and confirmation of the Obi-Kwankwaso ticket for 2027.
