The Presidency has mocked Peter Obi for leaving the African Democratic Congress (ADC).which he officially joined two months ago, and subsequently joined the National Democratic Congress (NDC), describing him as a politician made of jelly and political nomad.
Penpushing reports that Presidential spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, threw the mockery through his X response to Obi’s post announcing his exit from the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
The mockery statement dismissed Obi’s reasons for leaving the African Democratic Congress(ADC) and urged Nigerians not to take him seriously, describing him as an opportunistic politician who avoids difficult political contests.
“We told you so. The political nomad is on the move again. Ignore all those puerile reasons he gave in these illogical musings, a self-serving letter to his mob’, Onanuga wrote.
Penpushing further reports that he said Obi was unwilling to battle for the African Democratic Congress(ADC) Presidential ticket against former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and former Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi, preferring instead an easy road.
“Peter Obi is a politician made of jelly, an opportunistic fellow. He can’t fight Atiku or Amaechi for the ADC ticket. He pursues the easy road, which will only lead him to doom, like in 2023. He always blames the government without doing any soul-searching. Welcome, Peter, to the 2027 race,” he wrote.
Penpushing also reports that record has it that Obi contested the 2023 presidential election under the Labour Party (LP) but came third, and had served as governor of Anambra State under the All-Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and later as the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP’s) vice-presidential candidate in 2019.
The former Governor of Anambra State officially joined the All Democratic Congress(ADC) in March after leaving the Labour Party(LP) due to its prolonged internal crisis, and was one of the opposition politicians who formed a coalition that subsequently fused into African Democratic Congress(ADC) to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the coming 2027 elections, particularly President Bola Tinubu.
Penpushing reports that Obi announced his exit from the African Democratic Congress(ADC) on Sunday, but did not announce the party he intends to join next and in his resignation letter said his decision to leave the African Democratic Congress(ADC) was not based on personal grievances but on the party’s internal divisions, legal disputes, external influence, and an increasingly hostile political environment.
Meanwhile, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has confirmed ongoing discussions with him, although Obi has not publicly declared whether he will join the party.
