When Asked To Step Down For Obi, Atiku Reportedly Said: ‘Let Obi First Pay His Nomination Form Money’ – ADC source” For many political observers, the reported defection of Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi, from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) just days after joining the party with much fanfare came as a surprise. According to The Nation, close associates of both politicians claimed the development was not unexpected, saying there had been tensions beneath the surface long before the move. It was noted that their association in the ADC was not the first time both men had found themselves in the same political camp. In fact, they had previously worked together during the 2019 presidential election, when Obi served as Atiku Abubakar’s running mate under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). At the time, Atiku was said to have chosen Obi over several other prominent figures who were reportedly considered for the vice-presidential ticket, including former Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu, former Central Bank of Nigeria governor and then Anambra State governor Prof. Charles Soludo, former Minister of Agriculture Akinwumi Adesina, and former AMCON Managing Director, Mr. Chike Obi. The Atiku–Obi ticket, however, went on to lose the election, continuing Atiku’s earlier string of unsuccessful presidential bids. Despite the loss, sources claimed that the fallout from the partnership was not solely about the electoral defeat, but also about internal disagreements during the campaign. According to party insiders, Atiku was allegedly displeased with Obi’s approach to campaign funding, accusing him of being reluctant to contribute financially and instead depending largely on Atiku to shoulder the cost of their joint presidential ambition. The sources further alleged that this experience left a lasting impression on Atiku and shaped his perception of Obi in subsequent political dealings. In light of this background, an ADC chieftain who spoke on the condition of anonymity claimed that Atiku’s reaction to Obi’s entry into the ADC was one of scepticism, suggesting that he believed from the outset that Obi’s presence in the party would not lead to a successful or stable political partnership, given their previous experience together. The official said, “A lot of people know about Obi’s self-entitlement mentality, but they don’t know how serious it is. Do you know that Obi’s stingy nature was the sore point between him and Atiku in ADC? Atiku already knew him from their working relationship in 2019. “So, the moment some people approached him with the proposal that he should step down for Obi in the contest for the party’s presidential ticket, the first thing he told them was to ask Obi to first of all put down money for the party’s nomination form.” The source alleged that Atiku made the demand because he was aware of Obi’s reluctance to spend money, adding that Obi’s subsequent actions appeared to confirm that concern. The source further claimed that Obi left the party quickly, before anyone could react, and moved to the NDC. The source also stated that the main challenge the NDC might face if Obi became its presidential candidate would be getting him to commit financial resources to campaign activities…See More #PeterObi #AtikuAbubakar #NigeriaPolitics #ADC #NDC #PresidentialRace #PoliticalDrama #NominationFee #2027Elections #ObiVsAtiku https://www.facebook.com/61555249450974/posts/pfbid02cDn9qVqKYNFMVZHAeo1X54PbyGBPCBYBqpUUB7caDjSX75nDX22ob95DipEg2YRnl/ 2 Likes 1 Share

Freshtruth:You can only fool yourself and the gullibles around you. Because of you, our State governor then took a 1.5 trillion naira loan to sponsor and support your ambition. How is the relationship between both of you today? Do you know in saner climes, nominations forms and campaign spendings are very transparent especially in Presidential elections and hardly from the candidates private pocket?

Obi is not a patient politician, he need to understand politics. ADC will have more votes than NDC. |

This man is addicted to contesting elections, not actually winning. I said it before that he never wanted to pick Obi as his running mate in 2023, because he underrated him. He was more shortsightedly interested in a running mate who would bring out lots of money (like Okowa) without thinking about actual electoral value and votes. Whoever his advisers are, if he has any, do not wish him well. |

Dear Alhj Atiku Abubakar sir, please move on....Peter Obi has moved on too....he doesn't make trouble....yet evil Nigerians despise him for trying to rescue them from the shackles of corrupt, evil, conscienceless politicians destroying their future in the name of politics. Please move on sir....put in effort, you can still win the 2027 Presidential election if you are able to rally your Northern brothers to support you...you are far better than Tinubu and it won't be bad to have you as President even though you lack political strategy which has been your biggest opposition to your becoming President of Nigeria, but if its God's will for you to finally become the President in 2027, who am I to decide your fate sir? We wish you the best in your political endeavor but please just move on and forget about Peter Obi, he is a simple, peace-loving man that only want collective prosperity for all Nigerians  |

-----'Obi’s reluctance to spend money---- This is why sensible Nigerians should vote for him. The man Obi knows how hard it is to make money so he will not spend lavishly like Tinubu does. Vote Peter Obi |
