In a statement, Obaze wrote: "Eight months ago, I disengaged from partisan politics and from my erstwhile political party on grounds of principles.

"Today, I wish to announce that I'm now a proud card-carrying member of ADC. We walk the talk. We must rethink and reunite Nigeria. Much work lies ahead.".

His principal, Peter Obi, has already stated that he is part of the ADC alliance for the 2027 presidential election.
