‘Obi Can’t Last In ADC’ — Abdullahi Fires, Says Peter Needs One-Man Party To Survive.
The National Publicity Secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Bolaji Abdullahi, has alleged that former presidential candidate Peter Obi prefers a political platform dominated by a single individual.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
He argued that Obi’s decision to join the National Democratic Congress (NDC) was driven by his inability to function within a competitive coalition where negotiations, compromises, and power-sharing are essential. Abdullahi made the remarks on Monday during an appearance on Arise Television’s Prime Time programme. According to him, the former Anambra State governor was seeking a party structure controlled by one person, where securing the presidential ticket would be straightforward and free from intense internal negotiations. “The kind of party Peter Obi wanted is the one he has now joined — a party owned by one man, where he can be assured of the ticket before even coming in,” Abdullahi said. He added that within a coalition like the ADC, no aspirant could be taken for granted because multiple interests must be balanced, and agreements require continuous negotiations to keep all stakeholders united, even when some do not get their preferred outcomes. “In a coalition where several negotiations must happen, where no one can simply impose their will, and where everyone’s interest has to be carefully managed, I don’t think Peter Obi can thrive in that kind of setting. That is why he moved to the NDC, because they can guarantee him the ticket,” he stated. Abdullahi further claimed that Obi’s ambitions extended beyond securing the ADC presidential ticket, alleging that he also wanted the power to personally select his running mate. While expressing disappointment over Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso’s departure from the party, the ADC spokesman admitted that their exit had also eased pressure on the party. “Personally, I’m not happy they left, but in some ways, it has also brought relief. Now we can concentrate fully on our mission without the intense pressure they were putting on us,” he added.
