Peter Obi, a former presidential contender, has voiced his disapproval of politicians’ open celebration of vote fraud.
According to reports, on Wednesday in Enugu State, Peter Obi made a public announcement about his defection to the African Democratic Congress (ADC) alliance.
Former Anambra State governor Peter Obi pledged to oppose any attempt to rig the 2027 election in a legitimate and legal manner.
In order to prevent pre-election controversies, he also advocated for early vetting of candidates’ academic backgrounds.
“We have all witnessed those who benefited from our democracy now becoming accessories of our democracy through coercion or gangsterism to the opposition,” he declared.
“We will fight against this; we cannot allow it to occur. People are now openly commemorating electoral fraud.
“And we are stating that we will use all legal and legitimate means to oppose those who intend to rig elections in Nigeria in 2027.”
Yunusa Tanko, the National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement, has refuted rumors that Peter Obi might run for vice president in the 2027 elections.
In an interview with Arise News on Tuesday, Tanko denied such claims.
He claims that Obi traveled the world to become the President of Nigeria rather than to become a Vice President.
He claimed that he didn’t travel the world to become vice president.
According to Tanko, “He traveled the world to learn so that he can be number one—to be the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
‘The Nomadic Politician Will End Up as Second Fiddle’ – Tinubu’s Aide, Bwala
Daniel Bwala, President Bola Tinubu’s Special Advisor on Policy Communication, has criticized an unidentified nomadic politician who defected from the Labour Party (LP) to the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
According to reports, Bwala called the ADC a criminal organization in a post via 𝕏 on Wednesday.
The nomadic politician would become a campaign DG or second fiddle in ADC, according to Tinubu’s adviser.
“Nomadic politicians joining the structure of criminality,” he declared.
By joining the criminal organization, the itinerant politician is carrying on with his crazy pursuit.
“The wondering spirit will still wind up as a campaign DG or second fiddle, whether it is PDP, APGA, Labour, or ADC.
“If your adviser is insane, that is how your political trajectory would be.”
Bwala’s statement follows former Anambra State governor Peter Obi’s transition from LP to ADC and his intention to run for the party’s ticket in 2027.
In the meantime, Peter Obi recently stated that he doesn’t have time to react to characters like Bwala.
It was remembered that Bwala had referred to Peter Obi as “419” in an interview with Channels Television, emphasizing that he had accomplished nothing while serving as governor of Anambra State.
According to Bwala, Peter Obi held state government monies in a bank falsely so he could earn interest on the deposit.
“Peter Obi saved the money, but he saved it in a bank where he was chairman, which is where he was making the money,” he stated. He would always recommend Anambra to you. He would say, “I saved this when I left.”A concept known as asset and liability exists.
“There is nothing on the ground when you subtract liability from what you thought were the savings once the manpower arrived and revealed how much liability they had. We refer to this as pure 419.
In response, Peter Obi stated, “Ordinarily I do not answer these type of characters,” in an interview with media personality Nedu on the “Clarity Zone” podcast. I had no outstanding debts to suppliers who had delivered my goods, gratuities, pensions, or salaries that the state was required to pay me when I left the office.
