Tension in Opposition: Obi Ally Brands ADC a ‘Ruga,’ Predicts Instant Collapse on Platform Decision

Published

on

As rumours intensify about a potential return of Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate Peter Obi to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), his former Special Adviser on Public Affairs during the 2023 elections, Dr. Katchy Ononuju, has declared that the African Democratic Congress (ADC) would collapse if Obi decides to run on a different platform in 2027.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

This position follows comments by former Borno State Governor and ex-PDP National Chairman, Ali Modu Sheriff, who claimed during a Channels TV interview on Politics Today that Obi is preparing to dump the LP and rejoin the PDP.

Speaking with Daily Post on Tuesday, Ononuju described Obi as a political powerhouse whose choice of platform could make or break a party.

“What I’ve told people is simple: the moment we settle on a platform, that Ruga called ADC will collapse. Yes, they’ve been in talks with us, and Peter has had constructive discussions with them. Anything can happen. In politics, a week or a month can change everything,” he said.

Ononuju added that recent developments around zoning — especially ADC’s reported decision to zone its 2027 presidential ticket to the South — could reshape alliances ahead of the next election cycle.

“If they follow through with zoning, other parties may follow suit — and if that happens, it changes the game. Remember, the only reason we used the Labour Party in 2023 was because the PDP refused to zone the ticket to the South,” he explained.

He further noted that he had personally advised Obi to steer clear of ADC when it became clear the party was not firmly committed to zoning.

“When Atiku began making dismissive statements about zoning and ADC leaders started wavering, I warned Peter that I would go public with my opposition and rally the movement against any party that ignored zoning. Peter took that seriously and pushed back.”

Ononuju also claimed that the ADC was a fallback creation of Atiku’s camp after some governors promised to zone the PDP ticket southward.

“If they try to use ADC, it’ll be an empty shell — there’s no real base there. But if we return to the PDP, there’s room to rebuild. We can heal the damage caused by people like Wike and reposition the party. In the end, political parties and structures are made of people. With time and the right decisions, we can reassemble and reshape the landscape.”

‘Kwankwaso Is More Experienced Than Peter Obi’ – Buhari’s Ex-Aide Declares.

Ahmad made the assertion in a post on his X handle, maintaining that Kwankwaso’s decision to accept the position of running mate should be seen as an act of political modesty rather than an indication that he is less qualified than Obi.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

According to the former presidential aide, the relationship between the two politicians should be viewed as one of equals rather than that of a superior and a subordinate.

“To be entirely candid, the political dynamic between Rabiu Kwankwaso and Peter Obi ought to be characterised as one of collegiality between peers, rather than a hierarchy of principal and subordinate,” he wrote.

He added, “The choice to assume a deputy role beneath Obi ought to be interpreted as a testament to political modesty.”

Making a case for Kwankwaso’s political experience, Ahmad recalled that the former Kano State governor served as Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives before Obi became a prominent figure in national politics.

He also noted that Kwankwaso governed Kano State, which he described as Nigeria’s most populous and politically influential state, for two terms and served as a federal minister.

“If we are assessing political experience, Sen. Kwankwaso probably has a longer and more impressive political background than Peter Obi,” Ahmad stated.

In contrast, the former presidential aide argued that Obi’s major public office experience was limited to his tenure as governor of Anambra State.

“Unlike other candidates, Peter Obi was just a former governor of Anambra State,” he wrote.
