Former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and his New Nigerian Peoples Party, NNPP, counterpart, Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso, have formally joined the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC.

The duo joined the NDC after Obi earlier on Sunday dumped the African Democratic Congress, ADC.

The two political heavyweights made their decisions with the aim to paving way for their aspirations for 2027 Presidency.

Earlier, they were received received by the National Leader of the NDC and former Governor of Bayelsa State, Henry Seriake Dickson and its National Chairman, Moses Cleopas, at the party’s headquarters in Abuja.

The party leaders have described the new development as a growing wave of confidence in the NDC nationwide.
