Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has responded to Peter Obi’s official move from the Labour Party to the African Democratic Congress, ADC.
Atiku said he is ready to work closely with Obi to build a strong and united opposition.
He described Obi’s decision as an important development in Nigeria’s politics.
Peter Obi, a former governor of Anambra State, announced his entry into ADC while speaking in Enugu.
He is also one of the early members of the ADC coalition, which was formed to challenge President Bola Tinubu in future elections.
In a post on X, Atiku welcomed Obi and said his joining the ADC is a major step for political cooperation in the country.
Atiku expressed hope that their partnership would help create an effective opposition capable of forming a government focused on peace and economic growth.
The former Vice President also called on other Nigerians who care about the country to support the ADC coalition as it continues to gain strength across different regions.
Atiku wrote: “Today marks a significant moment in the history of political coalitions in our country, with the official declaration of my brother and associate, @PeterObi, into the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
“It is my pleasure to welcome him officially, as we look forward to a robust working relationship that will foster a virile opposition, one that will ultimately form a government capable of bringing prosperity and peace to our people.
“And as the @ADCNig Coalition train leaves Enugu, the capital of the Southeast region, I hope this inspires other patriots to join the cause with the train headed in their direction.”
