Former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi has reacted to the court judgment that nullified the process which produced Atiku Abubakar as the ADC presidential candidate for the 2027 elections.
Obi reportedly expressed concern over the ruling, which also affected the David Mark-led leadership of the opposition party.
The development has added another twist to the political calculations ahead of 2027, particularly as opposition figures continue exploring ways to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress.
The judgment has raised questions about the future of the ADC’s political structure and the strength of any opposition alliance built around the party.
For Obi, who has remained a major voice in Nigeria’s opposition politics, the development is significant because it could affect the wider efforts to build a credible alternative ahead of the next presidential election.
Meanwhile, Atiku has vowed to appeal the judgment, insisting that his political activities will continue.
With legal battles, party disagreements and political alliances all unfolding at the same time, Nigerians are watching to see whether the opposition can maintain unity.
The 2027 race is already delivering enough political drama to keep the country talking.
