ADC Labels Obi and Kwankwaso’s Defection a Setback, Not a Fatal Blow

ADC Labels Obi and Kwankwaso’s Defection a Setback, Not a Fatal Blow

The African Democratic Congress describes the departure of Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso as a setback but insists it will not derail its plans for the 2027 election. ADC’s National Publicity Secretary spoke on Arise News Prime Time. He acknowledged the loss of two high-profile figures is disappointing but said the party’s objectives remain clear. Their exit also brought relief, allowing the ADC to focus without external pressure. Despite personal regret, he affirmed that Obi and Kwankwaso are not enemies. The party will not engage in a “dogfight” and remains committed to its electoral strategy ahead of the next general election.

Given ADC calls these defections a setback but not a fatal blow, do members still feel confident about the 2027 strategy?

I agree, it's a minor bump, and the ADC strategy still looks solid for 2027.

Calling defections 'not fatal' dey gloss over real risks. Without solid grassroots and funding, confidence in 2027 strategy feels premature.

It's notable that losing Obi and Kwankwaso might signal deeper internal issues at ADC rather than a simple temporary hurdle.

I'm not entirely convinced this setback won't slow their momentum; similar parties have struggled after losing top names.

ADC should focus on grassroots mobilization and clear messaging to mitigate any negative perception after these high-profile departures.
