From Labour To ADC? Obi’s Close Associate Reveals Timeline For Big Decision

The National President of the Obidient Movement, Yunusa Tanko, has revealed that Peter Obi will decide on whether to fully join the African Democratic Congress (ADC) after the November 8 Anambra governorship election.

Tanko disclosed this in an interview with The Punch on Sunday, while reacting to the recent call by ADC’s National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, urging all coalition leaders to resign from their current political parties and officially register with the ADC.

According to him, the ADC had already granted Obi a waiver to carefully consider his political options, stressing that he would not be compelled to abandon the Labour Party until the right time.

“The waiver still stands. They made the announcement but didn’t change it. If others are joining the ADC, that’s fine. Very soon, our principal will make his position clear.

“We agreed it would be after the Anambra election, which hasn’t taken place yet. Everyone, including the media, saw us campaigning for Moghalu in Anambra, so there’s no way we could abruptly abandon that until the election is over.

“As far as we are concerned, that’s the most logical approach. Besides, the ADC never gave an ultimatum. Obi can only declare his stance after the Anambra election. For now, he is out of the country delivering a paper,” Tanko stated.
