ADC aide claims Peter Obi's exit wasn't a loss, says he's 'having fun' in NDC

Phrank Shaibu, Special Assistant to ADC presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar on Public Communication, said Peter Obi's departure from ADC early last month wasn't a loss to the party. Speaking on Trust TV on Sunday, Shaibu claimed Obi is 'having fun' in the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) where he found 'a haven'. Shaibu described NDC as having 'the office of the Supreme Leader' where party officials like chairman or secretary aren't visible or heard from. He noted Obi and former NNPP candidate Rabi’u Kwankwaso left ADC citing internal divisions and court cases. This commentary highlights ongoing opposition realignments as parties position for the 2027 elections, with Shaibu's remarks suggesting ADC views the NDC move as inconsequential to their strength while drawing attention to NDC's unconventional party structure claims. Understanding these dynamics helps voters assess opposition cohesion ahead of next year's polls.
