The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has mocked the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) over its efforts to woo former presidential candidate, Peter Obi, back to the party.
Speaking to newsmen, the National Publicity Secretary of the ADC, Bolaji Abdullahi, described the situation as laughable.
He wondered why the PDP, once dominant in Nigerian politics, was now “begging for candidates all over the place,” a situation he claimed reflected the former ruling party’s loss of relevance.
He insisted that the development was a clear sign of the party’s political decline.
He said, “If the PDP is truly wooing Peter Obi, that tells you how low the party has degenerated.
“This is the same party that many Nigerians were once desperate to get its ticket. Now they are begging for candidates. Why would we be threatened by that?”
Obi, who was the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 election, is also a key member of the ADC-led opposition coalition. His name has resurfaced in political circles following remarks by prominent PDP figures urging him to return to the party.
Among those making the overtures are former Information Minister, Jerry Gana, and Chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum, Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State, who recently described Obi as the opposition’s de facto leader.
But Abdullahi dismissed the outreach, stating that Obi remains a part of the coalition and is fully aware of what he called the PDP’s “destructive internal dynamics.”
“All I know is that Peter Obi is still part of the coalition. He has not told us that he has left or is leaving,” Abdullahi said.
