Peter Obi Dumps ADC, Blames Internal Crisis and Political Interference

Peter Obi has officially resigned from the African Democratic Congress (ADC), citing deepening internal crises, legal battles, and what he described as growing political interference within the party.

In a statement announcing his exit, Obi clarified that his decision was not due to any personal misunderstanding with the party’s leadership, including the National Chairman, David Mark, or former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.

According to Obi, the political environment within ADC has begun to mirror the challenges he faced in the Labour Party, marked by internal divisions, court cases, and mistrust among party stakeholders.

He accused “state agents” of fueling crises within opposition parties, warning that such actions weaken democratic opposition and distract political actors from addressing critical national issues such as insecurity, economic hardship, and governance challenges.

Obi maintained that he still holds respect for the party leadership but stressed that his political principles remain rooted in service, inclusion, and nation-building rather than power struggles and control.

His resignation is expected to trigger fresh political realignments ahead of the 2027 general elections, with analysts speculating on his next political move and its implications for opposition coalition efforts.
