Obi resigns from ADC

 

Former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has resigned from the African Democratic Congress, ADC.

Obi disclosed this in a statement posted on his verified X handle on Sunday.

In his post, Obi alleged that some agents of the Nigerian state who infiltrated the Labour Party and created unnecessary crises and hostility within its ranks that forced him to leave now appear to be finding their way into the ADC.

The former Anambra governor claimed the agents came with endless court cases, internal battles, suspicion, and division, alleging that instead of dealing with deeper national problems of service and nation-building, they focused on playing politics built more on control and exclusion.

He lamented that Nigeria is a society where humility is mistaken for weakness, respect seen as a lack of courage, and compassion treated as foolishness.
