FCT Senator, Ireti Kingibe, dumps LP for ADC

Senator Ireti Kingibe, who represents the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in the National Assembly, has officially parted ways with the Labour Party (LP) and aligned herself with the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

PlatinumPost reports that ADC now serves as coalition platform for opposition figures gearing up for the 2027 general elections.

Speaking to reporters in Abuja after a strategic meeting, Kingibe confirmed her allegiance to the ADC coalition, stating her commitment to the party’s objectives.

“As a senator, I am fully committed to ADC. However, as the Senator representing the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, I don’t expect you to just hand me a card,” she said.

Although she acknowledged not yet having her membership card, Kingibe made it clear that she stands firmly with the coalition’s mission and direction.

Meanwhile, chairpersons of the ADC from all 36 states and the FCT reiterated their support for the party’s interim leadership, currently headed by former Senate President David Mark. The leadership team has been tasked with unifying members, establishing political structures across the country, and overseeing party activities until a permanent leadership is chosen.

The ADC coalition was recently formed through an alliance of opposition parties and political leaders determined to boost their electoral chances in the next general elections.
