Africa-Press – Nigeria. The Presidency has reacted to the defection of the former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, into the African Democratic Congress, ADC.
The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, in a statement on Wednesday said Obi will end up being as Atiku’s running mate as witnessed in the 2019 general elections.
Onanuga said he watched as Obi formally joined the ADC after abandoning the party he had used to pursue his ill-fated presidential ambition.
The president’s mouthpiece also slammed Obi, stating that he sorelylacks the leadership pedigree, beyond being a successful importer.
“Obi is so blind that he cannot see all these achievements, as he jumped from Labour to ADC, where he will play second fiddle and end up being Atiku’s running mate in 2027, like we witnessed in 2019,” Onanuga said.
Obi on Wednesday dumped the Labour Party for the ADC in Enugu alongside other Southeast leaders.
