Africa-Press – Nigeria. The Obidient Movement has stated its position regarding the ultimatum issued to the former Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi by the African Democratic Congress, ADC.
It said Obi will consult extensively before taking a political decision on officially joining the ADC.
The national coordinator of the movement, Yunusa Tanko, disclosed this in response to ADC resolution that all members of the coalition must resign from their parties and officially join the party.
However, Tanko, in a statement said: “Our attention has been drawn to the recent statement released by the African Democratic Congress (ADC) concerning the resolutions of the Coalition and our role within it.
“We wish to restate our position clearly. While we remain fully committed to the vision of the Coalition and acknowledge the adoption of the ADC as the coalition platform, it is on record that His Excellency Mr. Peter Obi aligned with the coalition’s position after the Anambra State Governorship Election, extending to the 2027 General Elections.
“This adoption and pronouncement were made publicly by the party. We are therefore concerned as to why the resolution is now being altered midway into the agreement.
“H.E. Peter Obi, as a leader with a broad constituency, has always taken time to consult widely before making major political decisions. He did so before joining the coalition, and he must also do so before responding to any ultimatum.”
