Peter Obi, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, has appealed to members of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) to avoid internal disputes and legal battles as the party prepares for the 2027 elections.
Speaking in Abuja after officially joining the NDC alongside Rabiu Kwankwaso, Obi stressed the need for unity and focus, warning that litigation could weaken the party’s chances.
He urged party members to prioritise building a strong political platform rather than engaging in court cases, adding that the goal is to create a system where opportunities are accessible to all Nigerians.
The NDC National Chairman, Cleopas Moses Zuwoghe, formally presented membership cards to both leaders at the party’s national secretariat.
Kwankwaso also addressed supporters, noting that their decision to join the party followed consultations and alignment of political ideologies. He encouraged Nigerians to register with the NDC ahead of the membership deadline.
