The South-West arm of the Obi-Kwankwaso Movement has claimed that more than 10 million Nigerians registered with the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) within 24 hours of the defection of Peter Obi, describing the development as a major shift ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Speaking on the political momentum generated by Obi’s move, the South-West Coordinator of the movement, Dr Adefolaseye Adebayo, said the surge in registration reflects growing public confidence in the former Labour Party presidential candidate’s leadership and electoral prospects.
According to her, the rapid influx of new members into the NDC signals a broader realignment across party lines, particularly among members of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
“Within 24 hours of Peter Obi joining the NDC, over 10 million Nigerians have registered with the party,” Adebayo said.
She added that a significant number of ADC members had also defected.
“They obviously know something. The person who has the capability to win the election is Obi.”
The coordinator maintained that Obi’s entry into the NDC has energized political structures nationwide, especially in the South-West, where the movement says grassroots mobilisation has intensified.
She argued that the trend could reshape the political landscape if sustained, positioning the NDC as a formidable contender against established parties in the next electoral cycle.
The claims come amid heightened political activities and realignments following Obi’s reported defection, with analysts noting that such developments could influence coalition-building efforts and voter sentiment ahead of 2027.
However, the NDC leadership has not confirmed the registration figures provided by the movement as at press time.
