As Nigeria prepares for another heated general election in 2027, fresh uncertainty surrounds the political future of former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
Reports from Daily Post Nigeria reveal that Obi’s fate in both the Labour Party (LP) and the African Democratic Congress (ADC) is hanging by a thread, following growing tension and disunity among key political stakeholders.
The once-vibrant alliance between the LP and ADC, which helped fuel the “Obidient Movement” in 2023, appears to be breaking apart.
Insiders say the ADC leadership is now rethinking its partnership with Obi’s Labour Party, with some members insisting that the party should produce its own presidential candidate in 2027 rather than playing “a supporting role.”
Similarly, within the Labour Party itself, several senior officials are reportedly dissatisfied with Obi’s independent style of politics and his alleged distance from party leadership structures.
A top LP official told Daily Post Nigeria:
Peter Obi still commands massive youth support, but internally, there’s disconnection. Unless there’s urgent reconciliation, Labour Party might enter 2027 divided and disorganized.”
Political analysts warn that the situation could weaken the so-called third force that many Nigerians had hoped would challenge the dominance of the ruling APC and the struggling PDP.
With both ruling and opposition parties positioning themselves early for the 2027 contest, Obi’s uncertain political base may prove costly — especially if the LP and ADC fail to mend fences.
Despite the unfolding drama, supporters of Peter Obi — popularly known as the Obidient Movement — remain unwavering. They believe Obi’s message of accountability, transparency, and people-centered leadership still resonates with millions across Nigeria, regardless of party affiliation.
An ardent supporter commented on social media:
Obi is more than a party; he’s a movement. The system fears him because he represents what Nigerians truly want — change.”
The coming months will be crucial for Peter Obi as he works to clarify his political path and rebuild internal alliances.
Whether he remains a major force in Nigeria’s political landscape or fades amid internal divisions will depend on how he manages the brewing crisis within the LP and ADC.
