I watched Obi speaking to Kayode before I saw Abdullahi's interview. One thing I can tell you for free is that Obi is more measured in talking about ADC and Bolaji, Amaechi etc should learn from this. He never abuses, he was still thanking David Mark for his maturity. He knows he may still need the ADC. ADC on the other hand, from Okonkwo to Momodu keep talking down on Obi. I don't think they have learned anything from how Obi speaks about his former principals. You will never hear him abuse Atiku, even to criticize Tinubu, the interviewer had to ask him if he was afraid of calling Tinubu's name.

A true fighter fight to finish not run run. There is no way you will not face battle as a leader. A true leader face it headlong and conquer it.

Tinubu face greater challenges even from his closest circle that want to betray him, he stood his ground and fought bravely. That's mark of leadership with strength even though I don't approve to some of his policy lately.

Now if NDC have another cour case or problem ,he will run to where abeg. LP have problem he comot there, ADC have problem he rum comot again. That's a trait of a coward leader conformed one. This is someone that want to fix Nigeria with multidimensional problems battling us.

Like always he still has a lot to learn about leadership, he should deputize Atiku to crush Tinubu, then learn the rope and after 8 years he will fit for president. Now he's just wasting vote and helping Tinubu to stay in power.
Sir. You are totally wrong. Challenges are different from problems, Obi left LP and ADC because of the problems brought upon them by forces in higher places, it has nothing to do with challenges. Is it only LP and ADC that has Problems?
Look at PDP, from self-induced problems, to APC taking advantage of it, using Wicked Wike as a catalyst to speed up the rate of political and legal problems in PDP, NNPP nkor? A faction of NNPP expelled kwankwanso and his supporters a few months back for anti party activities, which I every much doubt it. Labour party nkor? The Lamidi and Abure Issue, ADC didn't have issues that were too serious, until Obi joined the coalition, that's when the Faction chairman decided to call dibs on the party, that he was, is and remains the authentic chairman of the party, as how? Was he not present when they were handing over the party to David Mark?
Sir, Problems and challenges are not the same in this political context we are discussing right now.
Why most people don't like obi is because he refused to do the same things other politicians are doing, I should be hated because I am different?

Day by day it is becoming very clear why PETER OBI should have left ADC longer than he did.
The same nonsense coalition that couldn't say anything against the APC government has now found their voice against PETER OBI.
OBI in ADC is like someone dinning with his enemies and the devil.
ADC only wanted PETER OBI for his popularity and nationwide acceptance in other to use him to sell Atiku Abubakar failed ambition.
PETER OBI doesn't need ADC at all, no one in the ADC supported him in 2023 , so he doesn't need them to achieve success in 2027

What you are saying is not exactly true.
Peter Obi left ADC because he felt he will not win the contested Primaries, all this rigmarole won't help anyone. It is his right, though.
.. peter obi left because of endless court cases..court cases that have not yet been resolved.. remember the supreme court told ADC to go back to the federal high court for determination to conclude their court case...so all this court case will cause delays and uncertainty for the party and party members...you cannot stay in a party where court cases that are not yet resolved or settled can spoil your presidential ambition

Was that why Peter Obi approached PRP with condition to be given the ticket carte blanche?
See Mr truth talker spewing rubbish, so why did Tulumbu drop the ADC case ?

Bro challenges and problems are synonymous and used interchangeably is just issue of semantic. What do you mean "brought about higher forces". All those Tinubu is from where abeg, not the same higher forces then. A brave leader fight ot out not run away from it.

You are very wrong to assume people hate PO. How I wish they are there at helms of the affair now to test their ideas not this current administration with borrowing and spending recklessly and harsh economic policies. I wish we remove and replace them by 2027. But PO and Atiku a4 making it difficult. How can wrestle with incumbent president when the opposition are in tatars and scatter all over .

The only bet of winning is when both Atiku and PO come together anything short of that na useless. If they can make sacrifice now then they should just forget about winning Aso rock.

Can a day pass without you people mentioning Obi's name? Is it a crime for one to walk out of a failed marriage?

SlavaUkraini:
Bolaji Abdullahi, national publicity secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), says Rotimi Amaechi, former minister of transportation, once threatened to quit the party over what he described as the “pampering” of Peter Obi, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP).

Abdullahi spoke during an interview with Symfoni TV via YouTube on Thursday.


The ADC spokesperson was reacting to Obi’s claim that “internal battles, endless court cases and uncertainties over the party’s future” informed his decision to leave the party on May 3 for the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), alongside Rabiu Kwankwaso, ex-governor of Kano.

Abdullahi said Obi lacks the moral standing to make such a claim against the ADC, noting that he enjoyed more privileges than any other opposition coalition leader during his time in the party.

He added that the preferential treatment accorded Obi once prompted Amaechi to complain to David Mark, the ADC national chairman, accusing the party leadership of making too many concessions to the former governor of Anambra.


“There was a time Amaechi went to ADC national chairman David Mark and was threatening to leave the party because the ADC was pampering Peter Obi and that he was conceding everything to Obi,” Abdullahi said.

“I had two deputies under me, and one was nominated by Peter Obi. Amaechi and Atiku can’t point at anybody they nominated in the NWC. The national organising secretary was a Peter Obi man.

“Before Obi joined the coalition, we had other people like Osita Chidoka working hard for the coalition building.

“He was hoping to be the national organising secretary, but when Obi came, and in order to give him a sense of belonging, we gave that position to Obi to nominate someone.

“And there are several other people holding party positions that he nominated. That was how we lost Osita.”

Abdullahi said the ADC leadership deliberately made concessions to Obi, believing that inclusiveness was necessary for coalition politics.

Many questioned why we gave Obi such privileges, but it’s because we recognised that politics is a game of additions, and if we have to make some concessions that are not going to kill anybody, then we have to make them,” he said.

“So, if anybody should be complaining of a toxic environment or marginalisation within the party, I don’t think it should be Obi.”

He further dismissed claims that the ADC is being controlled by former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar.

“Obi and Kwankwaso probably yielded to the propaganda that ADC is an Atiku party. That is simply not true,” he said.

Abdullahi also criticised the current administration, accusing governors of “criminal diversion” of federal allocation funds for President Tinubu’s re-election campaign.

“Governors are diverting funds from the federation account for a presidential campaign. That is a shameless and criminal act,” he said.

He further criticised the judiciary, alleging that some government agents had compromised public trust in the institution.

“Some government agents have turned the judiciary into a disgrace. The people no longer trust it — they see it as an extension of the federal government,” he said.
