Africa-Press – Nigeria. The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has congratulated Peter Obi for what it described as “eventually yielding” to the prolonged instruction to join the African Democratic Congress, ADC.
It said Obi’s formal defection to the ADC is a long-awaited unveiling of a contraption deliberately assembled to undermine Nigeria.
In a statement signed by its spokesman, Seye Oladejo, the state arm of the party said Obi’s defection is not a political evolution but public activation of a coalition forged in grievance, sustained by falsehood, and animated by an unhealthy appetite for national dislocation.
He said: “We nevertheless congratulate the ADC that Mr. Peter Obi eventually yielded to their prolonged plea -or is it their instruction – to come on board.
“Either way, the pretense of independence has now been formally abandoned. The choice of venue for this declaration is also not lost on discerning, pan-Nigerian electorates who understand political coding and symbolism. Nothing about this exercise was accidental; everything was calculated.
“It is now abundantly clear that a predictable opposition can neither thrive nor have a meaningful place in a vibrant democracy. Long before this moment, even a political neophyte knew that Mr. Obi would not contest elections twice on the platform of the same political party – judging by his well-documented record of political promiscuity. His latest move merely confirms a pattern of convenience politics masquerading as principle.
“Let us be clear: the ADC has not discovered ideology overnight. It has merely confirmed its true identity as a political scrapyard where rejected ambitions, electoral failures, and serial aspirants converge to rehearse recycled anger. This is not a coalition of ideas; it is a cartel of convenience. It is not about Nigeria; it is about power without responsibility.”
