Peter Obi, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), and Rabiu Kwankwaso, former governor of Kano, have formally joined the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
The two former governors joined the opposition party in Abuja on Sunday at its national secretariat.
Earlier, Obi announced his exit from the African Democratic Congress (ADC), while Kwankwaso also hinted that he was having “wide-ranging consultations” with the NDC.

Our correspondent earlier reported that the duo held a closed-door meeting with leaders of the NDC at the Abuja residence of the party’s National Leader, Seriake Dickson.
The meeting, held at Dickson’s residence in Guzape, is believed to be part of ongoing political realignments among opposition figures ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Obi and Kwankwaso arrived at about 5:18 p.m., drawing a crowd of supporters under the Obi-Kwankwaso Movement, who chanted “O-K is okay” as both leaders were ushered into the premises.
The development comes barely 24 hours after Buba Galadima, Secretary of the Board of Trustees of the New Nigeria People’s Party, disclosed that two prominent politicians would unveil a new political platform on Monday.
Although he did not name the platform, sources close to the former governors indicated that both leaders were finalising arrangements to align with the Nigeria Democratic Congress, a relatively new platform reportedly linked to Dickson.
