Peter Obi has joined ADC from the Labour Party.
Newsone Nigeria reports that a former presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has vowed that any attempt to rig the 2027 election will be resisted lawfully and legitimately.
Speaking in Enugu on Wednesday, December 31, 2025, Obi called for early verification of the academic records of candidates to avoid pre-election disputes.
The former Anambra governor spoke while formally announcing his defection to the opposition coalition backed by the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Obi said: “We have all watched those who benefitted from our democracy now becoming accessories of our democracy either through coercion or gangsterism to the opposition.
“We can’t allow this to happen, we will resist it. We now see people celebrating electoral fraud publicly.
“And we are saying that those planning to rig elections in Nigeria come 2027, we will resist it by every means lawful and legitimate.”
