ADC Endorses Peter Obi For President

African Democratic Congress (ADC) is endorsing the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi for the February 25 poll.

The ADC announced the development at a press conference in Abuja.

In attendance at the event were the ADC National Chairman, Raphael Nwosu as well as LP chieftain and Obi’s righthand man, Professor Pat Utomi.

Nwosu said after weighing presidential candidates in the country ahead of Saturday’s poll, it is the party’s conviction to back Obi.

However, Obi and his running mate, Datti Baba-Ahmed were not at the event as they were said to be in Zaria, Kaduna State for a rally.

The ADC, largely factionalized, has some members supporting the party’s flag bearer, Dumebi Kachikwu, while other groups within the party are not in support of his candidacy.
