FCT, Abuja - The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, said the African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition is shaky ahead of the 2027 election.

Obi said the ADC coalition is yet to settle questions on zoning and the rotation of key offices.

According to Obi, the ADC coalition must tidy up loose ends and agree on a shared direction for the country.

“But as much as I believe in it, I need to know the fundamentals that we all agree to respect."

As reported by TheCable, Obi stated this during an interview on YouTube by ‘Advocacy for Good Governance’ on Wednesday, December 3, 2025.

The former Anambra governor said the ADC must sit down and discuss where the party is driving Nigeria.

Obi said there are still some fine lines that the coalition needs to respect, where things must be done properly.

According to The Guardian, the presidential hopeful explained that the ADC coalition is shaky over unresolved zoning arrangements.

“Today, we have what we can say are unsigned agreements about the presidency, unsigned agreements about rotation of offices.
“Which is why if you say this person will come from here and this person will come from there, all those things need to be organised.
“The reason why it needs to be organised is: if you don’t do it, you create confusion for the future.”
