Former media aide to the late former President Muhammadu Buhari, Bashir Ahmad, has hinted that the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate, Peter Obi will defect to another party.
Ahmad said like he did to the Labour Party, LP, Obi would dump the NDC for another party in the build-up to 2031 presidential election.
Posting on X, the former presidential aide said Obi would never stay in a party where he is unable to realize his ambition.
He wrote: “Just like what he did to the Labor Party, Peter Obi will definitely do the same to the NDC.
“Obviously, he will not be able to realize his ambition on the platform, so he will move on to another party in the buildup to the 2031 election.”
The former Anambra State governor had contested the 2023 presidential election on the LP platform.
In December 2025, Obi dumped LP and joined the African Democratic Congress, ADC, due to the leadership crisis in the party.
A few months later, Obi dumped the ADC for the NDC where he emerged as the party’s presidential candidate, with Rabiu Kwankwaso as his running mate.
