Party Mocks Peter Obi Over ADC Exit

The All Progressives Congress has criticised Peter Obi following his exit from the African Democratic Congress, claiming the former presidential candidate is seeking an easy route to a ticket ahead of the 2027 elections.

The reaction comes shortly after Obi confirmed leaving the party amid internal tensions. The ruling party said the move reflects a pattern in his political decisions.

The APC argued that Obi’s departure is tied to his desire to avoid a competitive primary.

Party figures said his actions suggest he prefers a platform where he can secure a candidacy without strong opposition.

They added that coalition talks within the ADC had created uncertainty, pushing him to explore other options.

Obi had earlier explained that his exit was driven by ongoing disputes and a difficult political environment within the party.

He maintained that his decision was not based on personal issues with party leaders. Instead, he pointed to internal divisions and legal battles that were distracting from national concerns.

The development adds to growing tension within opposition circles as realignments continue ahead of the 2027 race.

Political observers say the disagreement may further complicate efforts to build a united front. With key figures making moves across parties, the battle for positioning is already taking shape.
