Senator Ireti Kingibe, who represents the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in the National Assembly, has officially resigned from the Labour Party and declared her allegiance to the African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition.
Speaking to journalists in Abuja shortly after attending a high-level political meeting, Kingibe confirmed her move and pledged her full support for the ADC, which has recently become a unifying platform for opposition leaders ahead of the 2027 general elections.
“As a senator, I am fully committed to ADC,” she said. “However, as the Senator representing the FCT, I don’t expect you to just hand me a card,” she added, noting that although she has not yet received her ADC membership card, her commitment to the party’s goals is unwavering.

Kingibe’s defection comes as the ADC continues to reposition itself as a major opposition force, with efforts led by former Senate President David Mark. The party, now functioning under an interim leadership, aims to build a strong national presence by bringing together political actors across party lines.
In a show of solidarity, 37 ADC state chairmen and representatives from the FCT reaffirmed their loyalty to the David Mark-led coalition during the meeting. The coalition is tasked with rebuilding party structures, strengthening unity among members, and laying the groundwork for credible leadership ahead of the 2027 polls.
The ADC coalition, which includes several political stakeholders and ex-officeholders, hopes to present a formidable challenge to the ruling party by rallying Nigeria’s opposition voices under one umbrella.
With Senator Kingibe’s move, political analysts say the coalition is gaining credibility and momentum as it seeks to reshape Nigeria’s political landscape in the coming years.
