A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dan Ulasi, has said former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, stands a strong chance of emerging as the presidential flagbearer of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) ahead of the next general election.
Speaking during an interview on ARISE News, Ulasi put Obi’s chances at about 60 per cent, citing ongoing coalition talks and realignments within opposition circles.
He said emerging alliances, particularly between Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso, could reshape the country’s political landscape if properly managed.
“The Peter Obi–Kwankwaso effect is part of the gradual process we are building up across the country, building bridges across this country,” he said.
Ulasi stressed that both figures carry significant political weight in their regions and should not be underestimated.

His comments come amid growing speculation over possible alliances among opposition leaders, as parties weigh strategies to strengthen their chances in the next electoral cycle.
