The Director of New Media for the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Theo Abu Agada, has responded to Lauretta Onochie, a leader of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), regarding her sharing of a report that depicts Peter Obi as a candidate without an associated party. This reaction highlights ongoing political tensions and disputes within Nigeria's political landscape.

Peter Obi, described as the Nigeria Democratic Congress presidential candidate for the 2027 election, said his record as former Anambra state governor shows he can improve Nigeria if elected president. According to Information Nigeria, his remarks responded to comments by his former running mate, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, regarding politicians challenging President Bola Tinubu.

Datti Baba-Ahmed, Peter Obi's running mate in Nigeria's 2023 presidential election, said Obi moved out of his political comfort zone against his advice ahead of the 2027 election. According to Information Nigeria, Baba-Ahmed made the remarks during an interview on the MIC ON Podcast while responding to a question about what had changed in his perception of Obi.

Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), has described Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde as qualified to become president, according to Daily Trust. Speaking at the commissioning of the presidential campaign office of the Allied People's Movement (APM), Obi said Nigeria needs a leader committed to unity and inclusion, and endorsed those involved in the political initiative.

The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has criticised the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) over its decision to select Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, warning both the NDC and former presidential candidate Peter Obi against trusting him. According to Naija News, the NNPP described Kwankwaso with the phrase 'once a betrayer, always a betrayer,' reflecting ongoing tensions between the party and its former presidential flagbearer following his political realignment ahead of future elections in Nigeria.
