Betty Akeredolu, the former First Lady of Ondo State, has openly thrown her weight behind Peter Obi as the preferred presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) ahead of the 2027 general election.
In a post shared on her verified X handle, Anyanwu-Akeredolu reaffirmed her support for the Obidient Movement, quoting a report that linked her with Obi’s political ambitions and writing simply: “Obi or nothing.”
Her declaration comes amid heightened debate within the ADC, where supporters of Obi and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar are said to be jostling for the party’s 2027 presidential ticket.
Obi, who recently aligned with the ADC through a broader coalition, has received growing support from his followers, many of whom have called for the presidency to be zoned to the South, with Obi presented as the party’s standard-bearer.
