2027: ADC Chieftain Says He Will Leave Coalition If Peter Obi Emerges Candidate

Oladimeji Fabiyi, the African Democratic Congress deputy national financial secretary, says he would leave a proposed opposition coalition if Peter Obi emerges as its presidential candidate for the 2027 election. Speaking in a recent interview, Fabiyi said he would neither work for, support nor vote for Obi if opposition parties adopt him as their consensus candidate. The comment highlights a major challenge facing efforts to build a united opposition platform against the APC: agreeing on a candidate acceptable to the different parties and political interests involved.
