Former Anambra State governor and presidential hopeful, Peter Obi, has resigned from the African Democratic Congress (ADC), citing deepening internal crises and what he described as infiltration by elements linked to the ruling party.
Obi announced his resignation on Sunday via his official X (formerly Twitter) account, stating that his decision was not driven by personal grievances but by structural issues threatening the party’s stability and effectiveness.
In his statement, Obi warned that the same pattern that weakened the Labour Party appears to be recurring within the ADC. He highlighted concerns over external interference, persistent court cases, internal conflicts, and growing mistrust among party members.
He further alleged that the infiltration of the party by forces aligned with the ruling government was a major factor fueling the crisis—echoing similar challenges experienced during his time in the Labour Party.
Despite his departure, Obi expressed appreciation to members and stakeholders of the ADC, reaffirming his commitment to the broader goal of building a functional, transparent, and people-oriented political system in Nigeria.
His resignation adds a significant twist to the country’s opposition dynamics ahead of the 2027 general elections, raising fresh concerns about coalition stability and the search for a viable political platform.
While his next political move remains unclear, political observers believe ongoing consultations may shape a new alignment in the coming months.
