Peter Obi has formally withdrawn his membership from the African Democratic Congress, pointing to persistent internal crises and what he described as a toxic political environment within the party.
The announcement marks a notable development in Nigeria’s political landscape ahead of future electoral contests.
In his statement, Obi noted that the decision followed careful consideration of the party’s current state and its alignment with his principles of accountability and transparent leadership.
He emphasized the need to operate within a political structure that supports constructive engagement and national progress.
The move is expected to prompt realignments among his supporters and could influence broader party dynamics as political stakeholders position themselves ahead of the 2027 elections.
Obi reaffirmed his continued commitment to serving the public interest and contributing to Nigeria’s democratic process.
