The South-West coordinator of the Obi-Kwankwaso Movement, Dr Adefolaseye Adebayo, has claimed that about 10 million Nigerians registered with the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) within 24 hours of Peter Obi joining the party.

She made the statement during an interview while reacting to concerns over Obi’s political chances ahead of the 2027 elections.

Claim follows Obi’s defection

The development comes after Obi and former Kano State governor Rabiu Kwankwaso left the African Democratic Congress (ADC) for the NDC.

Their move has triggered widespread reactions, with debates over its impact on the opposition’s strength.

Adebayo dismisses concerns

Adebayo rejected claims that Obi’s chances had weakened following his defection.

She insisted that his political strength goes beyond party platforms, pointing to his national appeal.

“Mr Peter Obi has a lot of followership across Nigeria. You can’t say his chances have drastically reduced,” she said.

‘10 million registered in 24 hours’

Highlighting what she described as growing momentum, Adebayo claimed millions joined the NDC shortly after Obi’s move.

“Twenty-four hours after Peter Obi left ADC, 10 million Nigerians registered with NDC and that says a lot,” she added.

The claim has not been independently verified.

Supporters cite growing momentum

Supporters of Obi and Kwankwaso have argued that their alliance could form a strong opposition bloc ahead of 2027.

They say the increasing interest in the NDC reflects continued public support for their political agenda.

Ongoing political realignments

The latest development adds to ongoing shifts within Nigeria’s political space as parties and key figures reposition ahead of the next general elections.

Observers say the coming months will be critical in determining how these alignments shape the 2027 race.
