Obi and Kwankwaso join NDC

Former Nigerian presidential candidates Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso have officially joined the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) ahead of the 2027 elections.

The move follows Obi's resignation from the ADC and signals a major shift in the opposition landscape.

The NDC has begun electing state leaders as it prepares for a national convention to formalize its platform.

Political analysts suggest the new alliance could pose a formidable challenge to the ruling party in the next general election.
