In a statement titled “Imprisoned by ambition: Welcome to 2027, Peter Obi’s reckless misreading of politics and power,” Dare dismissed the move as largely irrelevant, insisting it would not alter Nigeria’s political equation.

He argued that Obi’s exit from the Labour Party for the ADC was met with public apathy and followed a predictable script Nigerians have witnessed repeatedly.

Dare described Obi’s political messaging as stale and draining, saying the defection failed to represent any new vision but rather signalled the collapse of an already exhausted strategy.

He further accused Obi of exploiting the defection to launch his usual criticisms of President Tinubu, whom he portrayed as far more influential, experienced and historically significant.

According to Dare, Tinubu governs through concrete policies and leadership, not through emotional outbursts, manipulation or populist grandstanding.

The presidential aide also suggested that Obi’s remarks revealed an inflated sense of self-worth, arguing that his presidential ambitions lack the backing of solid democratic credentials or a well-structured national coalition that reflects Nigeria’s diverse political landscape.
