Peter Obi Warns He May Quit ADC If Party Processes Are Compromised
Former Anambra State governor and prominent opposition figure, Peter Obi, has hinted at the possibility of leaving the African Democratic Congress (ADC) if the party’s internal processes fail to uphold transparency and integrity.
Speaking during an appearance on Arise Television’s Prime Time on Monday, Obi addressed concerns about his history of moving between political parties, insisting that his political journey has always been guided by principle rather than personal gain.
Obi, who previously contested for the presidency, explained that his decisions to exit previous parties were based on ethical considerations and a refusal to participate in what he described as flawed or corrupt political systems.
He further clarified that his departure from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) stemmed from dissatisfaction with what he called “transactional politics” within its ranks.
The former Labour Party flagbearer also accused the ruling party and the Federal Government of engineering the internal conflicts that eventually led to his exit from the Labour Party. He cited the delayed enforcement of a Supreme Court ruling as part of a broader effort to frustrate his participation.
Reflecting on his current position within the ADC, Obi reiterated his commitment to the party’s ongoing processes but warned that he would not hesitate to speak out or walk away if the same patterns of irregularities reoccur.
Emphasizing his unwavering stance on political integrity, Obi maintained that ethical conduct and transparency remain non-negotiable in his political life.
Obi also refuted any suggestions that he had ever engaged in electoral malpractice or attempted to influence judicial outcome
With the ADC currently holding its national convention amid reported internal tensions, Obi’s remarks signal a renewed emphasis on accountability and reform within Nigeria’s opposition landscape.
