The Labour Party has disowned viral social media posts calling on Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso to abandon the African Democratic Congress. In a statement, the party said it had no hand in the messages and is not pushing either figure to leave the ADC or end ongoing coalition talks.

The clarification comes as opposition realignments ahead of the 2027 general elections continue to draw public attention. Reports show Kwankwaso recently moved to the ADC, a step that has fueled speculation about a possible joint ticket with Obi. Obi has publicly welcomed Kwankwaso’s move to the party, describing it as part of wider efforts to rebuild democracy and urging opposition groups to set aside differences and work together.

Meanwhile, the ADC itself is facing internal disputes. Leadership tussles and court rulings have left its status unsettled, raising concerns that unresolved legal issues could affect candidate nominations if deadlines are not met. Because of that uncertainty, political insiders say Obi, Kwankwaso, and other coalition leaders are also weighing alternative platforms, with Labour Party, Action Peoples Party, and the New Democratic Congress mentioned as fallback options.

The Labour Party’s latest position is that it is not behind calls for anyone to exit the ADC. Discussions on alliances, tickets, and platforms remain fluid as consultations continue.
