The African Democratic Congress (ADC) says the departure of Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso from its platform is both a setback and a relief. In separate reports, ADC officials acknowledge that losing prominent figures creates challenges for the party. However, the party maintains that it remains focused on its stated goal of contesting and winning in the 2027 elections.
According to the ADC’s position as reported by the outlets, the exit of the two politicians tests the party’s momentum and support structure, reflecting practical and political implications for its plans. At the same time, ADC officials describe the development as a “relief,” indicating that the party believes it can proceed with its agenda without complications connected to the former association.
Overall, both sources characterize the ADC’s response as mixed: it frames the departures as a political setback while emphasizing continuity in the party’s longer-term strategy toward 2027. The reports do not provide additional details on the reasons for Obi and Kwankwaso’s exit or any immediate replacement arrangements.
