Presidency mocks Peter Obi for leaving ADC

PREMIUM TIMES reported that Mr Obi announced his exit from the ADC on Sunday but did not announce the party he intends to join next.

President Bola Tinubu’s spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, has mocked opposition politician Peter Obi for leaving the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

“We told you so. The political nomad is on the move again. Ignore all those puerile reasons he gave in these illogical musings, a self-serving letter to his mob. Peter Obi is a politician made of jelly, an opportunistic fellow. He can’t fight Atiku or Amaechi for the ticket of ADC. He pursues the easy road, that will only lead him to doom, like in 2023. He always blames the government without doing a soul-searching of himself. Welcome, Peter to the 2027 race,” Mr Onanuga wrote.

PREMIUM TIMES reported that Mr Obi announced his exit from the ADC on Sunday but did not announce the party he intends to join next.

Mr Obi officially joined the ADC in March after leaving the Labour Party (LP) due to its prolonged internal crisis. He was the LP presidential candidate in the 2023 election, when he came third. He had served as governor of Anambra State under the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and later as vice presidential candidate under the PDP in 2019
