2027: Obi Is Part Of Coalition, Yet To Join ADC-Bolajia Abdullahi

Claims that Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP) has left the opposition coalition have been rubbished by the group’s spokesman, Bolajia Abdullahi.

In an interview with Channels TV, Abdullahi said Obi has been part of the group from its inception and is still a member.

He however, stated that Obi is yet to become a card-carrying member of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), the adopted party of the coalition, because he asked for leave to sort out some obligations in his current party, LP

“Peter Obi has been part of the coalition from day one. Peter Obi has attended almost every meeting of the coalition,” he said.

“The reason Peter Obi has not come into the ADC as a card-carrying member was because he asked for leave to allow him to complete the election that his people were involved in the Labour Party – the same thing applied to Mallam Nasir El-Rufai – and they were allowed by the leadership to complete the election processes that they started in their respective parties before they come into the ADC,” he added.
