Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A youth group in the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has warned that Peter Obi\u2019s plan to leave the ADC coalition, if he does not get the party\u2019s presidential ticket, could destroy his political career.<\/p>\n

A statement issued on Tuesday, and signed by Comrade Abayomi Bello of the ADC Youth Vanguard, said that if reports of Obi\u2019s possible exit are true, it would be a wrong move.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe doubt that Mr. Tanko actually has Peter Obi\u2019s mandate to say what he said,\u201d the group stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe that Mr. Obi has built a strong image as a leader who stands for principle, youth empowerment, and putting the country first.\u201d<\/p>\n

They said quitting the coalition for personal ambition would go against everything Obi represents.<\/p>\n

The group also reminded Nigerians that Peter Obi has moved between political parties several times in the past. According to them, from APGA to PDP to Labour Party and leaving ADC now could make people to start seeing him as just another politician looking out for himself.<\/p>\n

They said coalitions need patience, teamwork, and sacrifice.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Mr. Obi leaves the ADC coalition too soon, he may lose the trust of his supporters, weaken alliances, and disappoint young Nigerians who already feel frustrated by divided opposition,\u201d the statement added.<\/p>\n

Instead of leaving, the group advised Obi to stay and lead from within.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe should mentor young leaders, help shape the party\u2019s direction, and build something that will last. That\u2019s how true political legacies are created. Anything else could lead to political isolation,\u201d the group warned.<\/p>\n
