Mr. Peter Obi, who was a presidential candidate for the Labour Party, has urged opposition forces to unite after former governor of Kano State Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso switched to the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

Obi remarked on X in a Tuesday statement that Kwankwaso’s transition to the ADC represents an important step in the endeavor to restore Nigeria’s democracy.

Obi revealed that he visited Kano on Monday at Kwankwaso’s invitation, referring to him as an elder brother and mentioning that the visit coincided with the former governor’s decision to join the party.

He emphasized the necessity for opposition parties and “well-meaning Nigerians” to put their differences aside and come together to tackle the country’s challenges.

He said: “Yesterday, Monday 30th March, I returned to the North’s Commercial nerve centre, Kano, on the invitation of my dear elder brother, Senator, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso @KwankwasoRM, whose decision to join our party marks yet another significant step in the collective effort to rescue and rebuild our democracy and dear nation, Nigeria.

“As I have consistently maintained, this is the time for all opposition forces and well-meaning Nigerians to set aside their differences and work together in unity of purpose.

“We must move beyond the politics of division, ethnicity, religion, and region, and embrace the politics of competence, character, capacity, compassion, and commitment to a better Nigeria.

“The task before us is not about winning elections alone; it is about rebuilding institutions, restoring confidence in governance, and securing a better future for our children.”
