Abeg, make I gist you how Peter Obi don land for the African Democratic Congress (ADC). Wetin be dis na? He just leave Labour Party, wey him dey since to join ADC as we dey enter 2026. Dis one fit change the game, no be small. Everybody dey wonder wetin go happen next.
As we sabi, dis move no be ordinary. Na big news! Obi no dey alone for dis matter, as e dey jost for presidential ticket along with heavy weights like Atiku Abubakar wey don dey creep since, and Amaechi wey don hold ground for transportation before. Dis three guys no fit take anything for granted. Dem sabi di political terrain well well.
Obi talk say him decision na based on patriotism, how e wan ‘rescue’ Nigeria from dis wahala wey dey ground. E remind us say dem over 130 million Nigerians dey suffer poverty, while all dis politicians dey shine eye for power. E don gather some people, wey dem dey call the ‘Obidient Movement’ to join am for dis new journey. Na strategic move, no be play play.
But make you no forget, as Obi dey join ADC, e go still face some palava. Analysts don dey yarn say, as e no fit beat Atiku for di ticket, wetin go happen? Naija politics be like jigsaw puzzle, e fit scatter any time! Some insiders dey suspect say Obi feel say him fit get ticket, but wetin happen if Atiku no gree? Dem two fit dey at crossroads again.
Make we also talk about Atiku. Dis man no be fresh fish. Him get strong political structure and still dey control some loyal supporters. Plus, e don promise say if e win, e go serve only one term. People dey see am as insider wey sabi di game, but some folks dey vex because dem feel say northerners don already run di seat for 8 years. Dem dey shout say make Southern folks have their turn, make dem come dey gree again for Atiku.
Now, Amaechi na devil wey dem fit overlook. E no get strong national followership, but when e enter as Transportation Minister, e don build plenty bridge. But how far that go carry am for ADC ticket? E dey talk say e no wan be second fiddle anymore, so it dey clear say all dem no wan back down.
As e be now, ADC dey try form wetin dem dey call a strong coalition, but na only time go tell if dis coalition go jell or scatter. If dem fit balance all dis ambitions and naija politics well, dem fit get chance to contest Tinubu effectively. But if dem start to dey throw punches and argue, APC fit don dey chop dem in peace.
To crown am all, the ADC dey wake up! Dem don gather plenty political heavyweights since Obi don join. Dis one fit change the game for the opposition. If dem fit united, dey go stand a chance against APC wey also dey flex muscles with all dem governors wey dey decamp to di party like say na free-for-all.
So make we dey watch as dis drama unfold. 2027 election dey come, and e go be a really interesting battle if dis coalition fit stay strong. Na so we go follow am, since no one fit predict di future of Naija politics!
