Mr Peter Obi
Bolaji Abdullahi, the spokesman for the African Democratic Congress, has stated that the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, cannot “take the risk” of returning to the Peoples Democratic Party, or PDP.
According to him, Obi is a member of the ADC coalition.
Abdullahi mentioned this on Monday during an appearance on Arise TV’s Prime Time.
He was reacting to questions about the PDP wooing Obi to return to the party.
“Let me say clearly, Peter Obi is in the coalition,” Abdullahi said.
“Regardless of what anybody is saying. But it is good to see that it has taken the coming on board of ADC, to get PDP to begin to make some movements.
“But everyone knows the jugular of the PDP is in the hands of the ruling party.
“Peter Obi, more than anyone else, knows that he cannot take the risk of going to the PDP.” (Daily Sun)
