A Facebook post claims that Peter Obi is planning to leave the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to join the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC).
Background
Peter Obi is a prominent Nigerian politician who served as Governor of Anambra State (2006–2014), was the vice-presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in 2019, and the presidential candidate of the Labour Party Nigeria in 2023.
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) is a registered political party in Nigeria, while the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC) is a newly registered party by INEC.
To verify the claim:
We checked Peter Obi’s official social media accounts, no announcement of defection.
We also reviewed official communication from the African Democratic Congress, no statement confirming any planned exit
We searched credible news platforms, no reports supporting the claim
The source, APGA Interactive Forum is known for misleading/unverified political posts.
What This Means
There is no verifiable evidence supporting the claim.
The information appears to be speculative or fabricated
The source lacks credibility
Verdict
False
There is no credible evidence that Peter Obi plans to leave the African Democratic Congress to join the Nigerian Democratic Congress.

A viral screenshot claims that Donald Trump posted on Truth Social criticising Bola Ahmed Tinubu for travelling to the UK during deadly attacks in Maiduguri.
Background
The claim surfaced after reported attacks in Maiduguri, where multiple locations were hit, leading to casualties.
Around the same time, the Nigerian Presidency announced Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s scheduled visit to the United Kingdom.
A screenshot allegedly showing Donald Trump reacting to the situation began circulating widely across social media.
Verification
We searched Donald Trump’s verified Truth Social account; no such post exists. We checked other official and affiliated platforms, no matching statement.
We reviewed credible news outlets, no report attributing such comments to Trump.
Response from Nigerian Presidency, confirmed the screenshot is fake just as presidential aide Sunday Dare publicly labelled it “Fake!!!”
What This Means
The screenshot is fabricated
No evidence it originated from any verified platform
Likely created to provoke political reactions and misinformation
Verdict
False
The viral screenshot claiming that Donald Trump criticised Bola Ahmed Tinubu is fake.
There is no record of such a post on Truth Social or any credible platform, and the Nigerian Presidency has officially debunked it.
Is Peter Obi Planning to Leave ADC for NDC?
Is Viral Screenshot Claiming Donald Trump Criticised Bola Ahmed Tinubu real?
