Former Anambra State Governor and leading opposition figure, Peter Obi, has broken his silence on his political ties with former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar ahead of the 2027 polls.

“There are very few human beings who are as close as I am to Atiku. So I can’t be running from him. This man is my very respected leader and elder brother,” Obi declared, emphasizing that his distinct political approach shouldn’t be mistaken for a rift.
The statement follows the high-profile collapse of their earlier African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition, which was initially formed to unseat President Bola Tinubu. Despite moving on to the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) alongside Rabiu Kwankwaso, Obi maintained that his departure from the ADC was entirely strategic and free of personal animosity toward Atiku or party chairman David Mark.

The political arena is buzzing after Peter Obi fired back at critics claiming he is on the run from his former ally, Atiku Abubakar. Addressing a pan-African governance forum in South Africa, the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential hopeful made it clear that nobody can scare him out of the room.
Obi insisted that Atiku remains a deeply respected leader and a close personal brother, dismissing rumors of bad blood following the sudden collapse of their mega-alliance under the ADC banner. Now piloting affairs under the NDC with Rabiu Kwankwaso, Obi stressed that he simply chooses to do things differently, calling for a shift away from bitter, litigation-heavy politics as the race to 2027 heats up.
Option 3: Standard News & Analytical

While acknowledging that they now operate on different strategic wavelengths after their joint coalition under the African Democratic Congress (ADC) dissolved, Obi maintained that his exit had nothing to do with personal friction. Obi, who has since aligned with Rabiu Kwankwaso in the NDC, reiterated his respect for Atiku while emphasizing his commitment to a new, issue-based political direction for Nigeria.
