A factional Chairman of @sowore AAC Party has emerged.Details later.

NDRA raises alarm over alleged dual party membership, accusing Reuben Egwuaba’s simultaneous APM and NDC roles of violating Electoral Act, posing legal concerns. guardian.ng/news/dual-part…

Peter Obi and Kwankwaso have given the Muslim-Muslim clerics another chance to develop a brand style. As I said earlier, even if the ADC handed their mandate over to Peter Obi on a platter, he would still lose woefully against Tinubu. He will never be a sellable candidate in the North. Bola Tinubu will use his clerics to finish him and flog him on election day.

Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso has betrayed Northern Nigeria in 3 different elections. He has now joined forces with people who want to end Northern Nigeria. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso will never recover from this betrayal. The Kwankwasiya movement is dead and buried.

"We would rather stay in the ADC than follow you to the NDC to sabotage Arewa's chances in 2027." — Kwankwasiyya member blasts Kwankwaso

“You will fail if you leave ADC” — Primate Ayodele warns Peter Obi

Lmao, people are really underestimating the ADC, the people behind its structure are ahead of the Curve since day one. Listen, this is Mallam Nasiru El-Rufai predicting that it’s going to be a 3 horse race and Tinubu is arriving at the 3rd place. This analysis was made 8months ago, we know that some people are going to leave the party because of selfish interest, so this has been predicted and very well planned. Watch the space!!!

Prof. Pantami is being sidelined and was not picked as the consensus candidate; he was denied the ticket. The APC used Pantami to gain more traction and support in Gombe, but in the end, they denied him the opportunity to contest. Pantami is ready for either a direct primary or a consensus arrangement. He has worked and invested a lot in the APC; even though he joined the race late, he did not relent. Pantami could not join the ADC because he believed his party, the APC, would give him the ticket, either through consensus or primaries.

Imo guber: Ihedioha has not resigned from ADC – Rebuild lmo Movement dailypost.ng/2026/05/03/imo…

Just days after Peter Obi reportedly visited him to persuade him to join the NDC, Bala Mohammed has instead aligned with the APM.

Most of the south east leaders of the ADC are not moving to the NDC with Peter Obi.

I remember Wike described Peter Obi perfectly well. I agree 100% with him. He lacks integrity

Lol.. so Elrufai knows all these while that it would be a 3horse rase?😳✌️

That massive votes from South East, Peter Obi won't get it. Alex Otti is with APC Soludo is with APC Hope Uzodinma is with APC Peter Mba is with APC Francis is with APC They would rather settle for Bola Tinubu than Peter Obi.

"Please let there be no litigation. Party members, please don't go to court. We want to build a party, we are not lawyers.” - Peter Obi pleads with his new party, NDC members

NDC factional Chairman to emerge next week. You read it here first

Dear Peter Obi, @PeterObi If no one has taken the time to clearly explain the consequences of your current political path, allow me to do so in simple terms, sir. You are positioning yourself against a sitting president from the South who still has four years left to complete an expected eight-year tenure. At the same time, you have publicly committed to serving only one term if elected and handing over to RMK. Furthermore, if your joint ticket with RMK does not succeed, you would then be expected, by your own logic and the prevailing political arrangement, to support him in 2031, when it would be the North’s turn to produce the president. In practical terms, this means you have effectively narrowed your own window to just one real opportunity: 2027. That is the hard truth. You are, by your own design, placing a strict limit on your political lifespan at the very moment it should be expanding. Politics at this level is not just about ambition, it is about timing, structure, and long-term positioning. By locking yourself into these commitments, you risk stepping out of the race earlier than necessary. If this is a deliberate strategy, then it is a bold one. But if not, then it deserves a deeper reflection.

This is my stance. My final stance. Please read carefully. 1. I am part of the coalition; I support ADC fully. 2. The only way Tinubu can be defeated in 2027 is through the coalition, and anyone trying to divide the coalition is working for Tinubu. 3. I will not follow either Peter Obi or Kwankwaso out of ADC. 4. As I have said before, there are no free meals in ADC. 5. How do you plan to defeat Tinubu with all his machinations if you cannot win the primaries of your party? 6. Anyone afraid to contest the ADC primaries is a coward and does not deserve my support. 7. You claim Atiku wants to dollarize the ADC primaries, and so what? We all know there will be no delegates at the primaries, so why not play the same game and win? 8. This is the game Tinubu is playing. 9. Are you suggesting that Atiku is richer and more financially capable than Peter Obi and Kwankwaso combined, including their supporters? 10. Are we saying Obi and Kwankwaso cannot pool their funds to win the ADC primaries? 10b. Nigerians are not looking for saints. We want a man with the capacity to lead. If you need to spend money to get there, please do so. It's part of politics played all over the world. 10c. None of these aspirants is a saint. None! So, spend the money. Mobilize voters and win the primaries. 11. We all agree to support anyone who wins the ADC primaries, and that's where I stand. 12. Anybody leaving ADC at this critical time is working for Tinubu’s re-election. 13. You will never win on your own in any other party. 14. Don't let your personal ego, greed, and ambition jeopardize the futures of millions of Nigerians looking to you for salvation. 15. Let's go to the primaries, play the politics, and win. This is the only way you will earn respect within ADC, and it’s the only way to prove you are ready and capable of defeating Tinubu. 16. Fight and win the ADC primaries than cowardly chickenning out to a soft landing that will be a complete waste of time. I have no interest in a wild goose chase. 17. There will be no free meals or freebies in ADC. There will be no coronation in ADC. 17a. If Atiku step-down for Obi at the primaries, will Tibubu also step down for Obi at the presidential elections? 17b. This is a battle for men and not for boys. 18. Let the primaries begin. — Lawrence Ibe
