The All Progressives Congress, APC, in Lagos State has described the reported directive by the African Democratic Congress, ADC, to Peter Obi over his 2027 presidential ambition as a failed political arrangement, labelling it a coalition without democracy, fairness or future.

The State Spokesman of the party, Seye Oladejo, in a statement on Tuesday, reacted to the ADC’s public call for Obi to clarify his political intentions.

Oladejo stated that the development reflected deep confusion within the opposition, accusing the ADC of lacking ideology and clear direction. Nigeria woke up to yet another episode of opposition disarray and ideological bankruptcy as the African Democratic Congress publicly ordered Peter Obi to ‘make up his mind’ on his 2027 ambition, while simultaneously declaring that zoning is not on the table.

This is not a strategy. This is confusion on steroids. A political party that cannot decide its soul, direction or destination now wants to decide the fate of Nigeria. What Nigerians are witnessing is not opposition politics, but a public quarrel inside a hollow coalition of contradictions,” the statement read.

The ruling party also slammed what it termed inconsistent positions by the ADC, saying the party had moved from rejecting zoning to issuing ultimatums to the same aspirant it once projected as a leading figure.

According to the APC, the ADC had been structured to serve the personal ambition of a single individual, adding that Obi was now caught in the middle of internal contradictions. It added that the ADC’s declaration that zoning was on the table suggested that its presidential candidacy had already been decided internally, with other members merely recruited to create the appearance of inclusion.

This is not a strategy. This is confusion on steroids. A political party that cannot decide its soul, direction or destination now wants to decide the fate of Nigeria. What Nigerians are witnessing is not opposition politics, but a public quarrel inside a hollow coalition of contradictions,” the statement read.
