The Director-General of Big TENT Nigeria, Ibrahim Abdulkareem, has stated why former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, is seeking the presidential ticket of the African Democratic Congress, ADC.

Speaking during an interview on ‘Prime Time’, a programme on Arise Television monitored by DAILY POST on Wednesday, Abdulkareem said Obi is not asking for the ADC ticket on a platter.

He said Obi wants to unite Nigeria and wants the ADC to be the option for the people of Nigeria who clearly do not want a one-party state.

Peter Obi didn’t just come out and join the ADC. He was part of the ADC from the first day and he made it very clear for everybody that wants to hear.

He said I would be part of this coalition if it’s not just for us to grab power and give to somebody but if it’s for us to come together and create a system that would work for Nigeria because Nigerians have been longing for good and genuine leadership.

And he has done what none of these people, including president Bola Tinubu himself has done because what he did is that before fully declaring for the ADC, he talked to the Obidients.

Nobody at all his meetings, there’s no fora anywhere that Peter Obi is asking somebody to give him this ADC ticket on a platter of gold.

What he said is that what he has done in his previous engagement with people, what Nigerians have said and also putting something that would unite us together, most especially giving the young Nigerians who want to see a new Nigeria that hope of a better nation,” Abdulkareem said.

Buhari and Tinubu used nepotism to hurt this country so much. If Tinubu eventually gets kicked out, his successor must use words and actions to fix the mess he has made.

Nigeria should be run like a multicultural society, not some Awa Lokan project. That's how to further national cohesion. Nice one, PO!

Because he can't win the primary. He doesn't understand the meaning of democracy, rule of law or patriotism.
To him, when he rigs ruthlessly in the South East, it's called pure love. Negative news from other regions is a stepping stone that must be milked in his favour. See no evil, say no evil in the South East. Bring in many puff puff containers to the Supreme Court to win election court cases. These are the only strategies he knows.

See a whole XD vs DG of their campaign organisation talking incoherently and intelligently like a primary school pupil.
He was just blabbing and talking gibrish without making any sense or point.

He is no better than Peter Obi himself.
Any wonder ?
Birds of the same feathers flocks together.

Imagine the fool saying that Peter Obi, the most divisive aspirant in Nigeria, wants to unite the country !!!
How senseless !
These people seem to think that Nigerians are as dumb as they, the obidients, are.

yarimo:
Why will he be asking for free ticket in a party that he is a tenant? He must participate in primary election with ATIKU, ameachi and others. Nothing like free ticket or vice presidential ticket

Jonjam269:
An individual who frequently switches political parties like diapers, cannot credibly speak on unity and integrity. With no notable achievements after eight years governing a small state like Anambra, expecting effective leadership in a complex nation like Nigeria is misplaced.
This narrative is sustained by social media hype and fabrication, repackaging a non-performer as a reformer and elevating failure to messianic status. It's a political wild-goose chase.
