PRESS RELEASE

RE: ULTIMATUM TO MR. PETER OBI BY THE AFRICAN DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS (ADC)

Our attention has been drawn to the recent statement released by the African Democratic Congress (ADC) concerning the resolutions of the Coalition and our role within it.

We wish to restate our position clearly. While we remain fully committed to the vision of the Coalition and acknowledge the adoption of the ADC as the coalition platform, it is on record that His Excellency Mr. Peter Obi aligned with the coalition’s position after the Anambra State Governorship Election, extending to the 2027 General Elections. This adoption and pronouncement were made publicly by the party. We are therefore concerned as to why the resolution is now being altered midway into the agreement.

H.E. Peter Obi, as a leader with a broad constituency, has always taken time to consult widely before making major political decisions. He did so before joining the coalition, and he must also do so before responding to any ultimatum.

As the Obidient Movement, being part of the main consulting bloc, we are particularly concerned about how the party intends to zone its presidential ticket. Considering that the presidency is currently held by the South, issues of equity and fairness must guide such decisions if the party truly aims to secure victory in the 2027 elections.

We are equally interested in how the party zones its principal offices within the coalition, as this will ensure justice, fairness, and inclusivity — factors that will enable us to mobilize effectively across the country.

It must be emphasized that H.E. Peter Obi is not desperate to be President of Nigeria. His ultimate mission is to see Nigeria work — to lift people out of poverty, to improve the economy, education, healthcare, and security. These were the reasons he joined the coalition in the first place targeted towards good governance which are the core values of the Obidient Movement

Lol. Who is Tanko Yunusa in the grand scheme of things? The ones who didn't know Obi was in talks with the coalition until 48hrs before the unveiling? No one wants Obi to go it alone than this opportunists who are only salivating at the thought of embezzling campaign funds.

SmartPolician:
It's crystal clear that Atiku wants to become president through ADC. No matter what happens, Peter Obi must never contest the presidential election under another party because that will amount to a landslide victory for Escobar.

seunmsg:
On Peter Obi’s mandate we stand. He’s the people choice so he must contest.

Nigerians from north and south are all begging for him to come and rescue us. He’s our messiah and the best thing to ever happen to humanity since slice bread was invented.

We want him to turn Nigeria to Dubai within two years the same way he turned Anambra to paradise when he was governor of the state.

No one wants Obi to go it alone than this opportunists who are only salivating at the thought of embezzling campaign funds. Even if Obi decides to go it alone, the coalition will still pull an upset. The dynamics between 2023 and 2027 are not the same. The likelihood of Tinubu coming third is looking realistic by the day.

Where is Seunmsg to come talk about Atiku?

yarimo:
Tanko yunusa stop talking rubbish, obi must participate in primary election with ATIKU and others in ADC you like it or not 😆

Streetinvestor2:
Peter obi should be wise.It is looking like this tank guy does not have his interest. He is beginning to act like another apc mole close to him.How many votes did he mobilize from the North in the last election. It is obvious he wants obi out of the coalition so that it will be easy for SW president to rig 2027 again

Putindbutt:
Lol, where are they carrying us to like this?, when AGOBI are still on their knees begging Atiku

Wallade:
That ADC coalition can never favor Obi, it was very obvious from the outset. It was a ploy to rail Obi into Vice Presidency. It was gonna be a repeat of what happened in PDP.

Exousiang01:
Were you guys expecting greedy Atiku to arrange a coalition and hand it over to Obi?
Obi already messed up by getting into the coalition.Now he is sitting on the fence.

That's a politician without tactics
