The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has criticised Peter Obi’s move to the African Democratic Congress (ADC), describing it as a dangerous alliance driven by ambition rather than national interest.
Obi confirmed his switch to the ADC at an event in Enugu on 31 December, saying the move was aimed at uniting opposition forces ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
In a sharply worded statement, the Lagos APC accused Obi and his new allies of plotting what it called a destabilising political front.
“What has occurred is not political evolution; it is a coalition forged in grievance, sustained by falsehood and animated by an unhealthy appetite for national dislocation,” the party said.
The APC dismissed the new alliance as a “cartel of convenience,” adding:
“It is not about Nigeria; it is about power without responsibility. The pretence of independence has now been abandoned.”
The statement also accused the coalition of ignoring violence in the country.
“Silence in the face of terror is not neutrality; it is complicity,” the party warned.
The Lagos APC urged supporters to reject the alliance and back the ruling party, insisting the government’s Renewed Hope Agenda “remains irreversible.”
