‘Peter Obi Is Not Leader Who Wants To Fight For People’ – ADC Chieftain, Fabiyi

Deputy Financial Secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Oladimeji Fabiyi, has slammed the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, following his defection to the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC).

Abia Radio News reports that Fabiyi, during an interview on Channels Television’s ‘Politics Today’ on Tuesday, said Peter Obi is not a leader who wants to fight for the people but for himself.

Fabiyi said he is happy that Peter Obi did not attribute his defection to issues with top political figures in the opposition coalition.

He said, “Peter Obi is not a man who likes to face challenges; he is not a leader who wants to fight for the people; he wants to fight for himself.

“There was a purpose for it. Now he’s the only one who can say the reason why he left. And I’m happy that he said he didn’t leave because of Atiku Abubakar or David Mark, but because he said he was uncomfortable with certain things.”

Meanwhile, Abuja Coordinator of the Obi-Kwankwaso Movement, Jabir Ibrahim Yaro, has explained why Peter Obi and former Kano State Governor, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, left the ADC.

Yaro, in an interview with Daily Post, linked their exit to internal crises in the ADC, alleged external interference and strategic political calculations ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Yaro said opposition parties in Nigeria were facing serious challenges under the current administration.

He said, “First of all, as you know, in Nigeria, opposition parties are actually in trouble or in danger because of the current administration, because there is no single opposition party, as it is now, that is clean and without any internal crisis.”

He alleged that powerful forces were behind the crises rocking opposition parties, including the ADC.
