Political Buzz As Peter Obi Teases Big Announcement On ADC Strategy

He stressed that a person’s current character matters more than their past, adding that he would also leave the party if its processes are compromised, as he cannot be part of electoral malpractice.

Obi made this known on Monday during an interview on Arise News, where he was questioned about his history of moving between political parties.

The interviewer suggested that switching parties instead of fixing internal issues could affect public trust and raise concerns about political consistency.

In response, Obi explained that he left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ahead of the 2023 presidential election because the party’s primary process had become transactional and no longer followed due process.

“In PDP, people were not playing by the rules; it was transactional, and I cannot be part of a transactional primary,” he said.

When asked why he is now working with some of the same individuals in the ADC, Obi maintained that he would not hesitate to speak out if similar practices occur in the party ahead of the 2027 elections.

He also revealed that his earlier move from the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) to the PDP was due to a breakdown in his relationship with his successor as Anambra State governor, noting that the situation had become unhealthy and was affecting governance.

Obi further attributed his exit from the Labour Party to actions by the ruling government.
