A new wave of political tension has erupted in Nigeria’s opposition landscape after former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, made a striking allegation that Labour Party figure Peter Obi was never fully aligned with or committed to political engagements around the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Lawal’s remarks have intensified ongoing debates about trust and unity within opposition coalition talks, as political actors continue efforts to build a stronger front capable of challenging established power structures.
He suggested that Obi’s political posture reflects a calculated distance from the internal direction and strategic expectations of the ADC-linked discussions, a claim that has quickly sparked reactions across political circles and supporter groups.
