The 2023 presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Dumebi Kachikwu, claims Peter Obi is already considering a move out of the ADC.

Earlier in July, Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in 2023, joined other opposition politicians to launch the ADC as a coalition party to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 elections.

Barely two days after the launch, Obi announced his 2027 presidential ambition, while still holding the LP membership card.

But Kachikwu believes Obi won’t be allowed to run for presidency on the ADC platform. According to him, the ADC structure is being packaged for Atiku’s presidential ambition.

Speaking on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, the ADC chieftain, who has been accusing opposition politicians , including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar,  of hijacking his party, claimed that Obi is set to leave the coalition, having realised that the ADC is set up to favour Atiku.

He said: “The whole ADC structure is being packaged for the former Vice President Atiku Abubakar. Since I started warning people about what is happening, we can see what is happening within the coalition. Someone like Mr Peter Obi now understands that the whole coalition was packaed for Atiku Ababakar. From our understanding, what we are seeing now is that he is looking in other directions, and other people who aspire to run now realise that the coalition was indeed no coalition. It was just a vehicle for Atiku Abubakar’s ambition.”

Kachikwu insisted that the ADC will not be used for Atiku’s presidential ambition, adding that the 2027 election will not give room for what he called ‘class exploitation’ by political leaders.

He vowed to work against the politicians by ensuring that Nigerians are informed and educated about their political power as citizens.

Hahaha. So quick. Let's wait for the confirmation then

Obi is not ADC he is not welcomed in that party. Obi is Labour, LP. PERIOD!

Kachikwu is the closest that APC and its proxies could use to infiltrate the ADC, but unfortunately, he has been outfoxed by the real master strategists in the ADC. He can only speculate and rant from afar. Peter Obi remains in the coalition.

If he tries it, it means his enemies have succeded over him,because he doesn't have clear majority to win the presidency he needs partnership
Which the coalition provides, a journey of a thousand miles start with the first step, he should strategic, start with the coalition and see how far he can go, but if he decides to go it alone, it might damage him politically

Hahahahaha OBI is looking for free ticket always running away from primary election, any party he goes . one politician should please decamp to that party so that they can conduct primary election for them

In baba fela voice, everybody run run, every body scatter scatter, obi dey run Atiku dey run, confusion everywhere

Infiltrate?! Please we need to try to be honest with our sense of Judgement unless we wish for ourselves to labour for others to be the ones to reap.

Kachikwu has been nurturing ADC only for some people to come and take it away just like that?!

Haba. If na you na so you go just fold hand dey smile?

Okay, so his ranting is borne out of frustration? How did he nurture the ADC? He merely contested as a presidential candidate under the party. Can Peter Obi also claim to have nurtured the labour party?

Oya, press your calculator and tell us Tinubu's pathway to re-election. Even your Tinubu is no longer as confident and has been running from pillar to post while begging Kwankwaso to save his campaign.

If such was the case with Peter Obi and Labour Party, experiencing an invasion by Atiku, El-Rufai, Ameachi. Would Obi and his supporters keep quiet and fold their arms?!

Imagine the choice of word.

The ADC existed as a party long before Kachikwu dreamt of ever contesting under its banner. He doesn't own the party. What supporters? How many votes did he garner for the party in the last election? Only in Nigeria would a politician contest under a party and automatically think he owns the platform. No wonder Tinubu has privatised the APC while chasing out its founding members like Chief John Oyegun, El-Rufai and others.

He may eventually be frustrated out of both ADC and LP.


.. except he runs with Atiku as running mate

Obi said that this will b his last push for presidency.... He can't wait for 12 and start all this brouhaha again...

If he doesn't have a shot now... Then he will quit

I guess he has heard about the $1.5bn loan his competitor got.

APC should just forget about conducting primaries and give Atiku the ticket. They would save cost and more.

Why conduct elections when you already know the winner.

Atiku had to run away from PDP when Jonathan clinched the ticket. But Kachikwu won't run away from Atiku in ADC.

ADC is really haunting Tinubu and APC. In just 3 weeks of ADC's existence Tinubu supporters have opened over100 threads on ADC.

the problem with obi is that he wants a free ticket.

He doesn't want to fight for ticket n that will b his greatest undoing, if he's given ticket on a platter of gold it will affect him in the general election.


The fact that he was given ticket on a platter of gold is what is affecting him right now in ADC, atiku is used to primaries n his PDP delegates are now in ADC so he stand fit.

Had it been obi too did primary at LP, obi too will delegates to tackle d fight now

If he leaves the SE will not vote him.He can't be wasting our time and make us look like jokers.If he leaves.His political career has ended simple
