ADC to Obi: Make up your mind on joining us

Obi

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has asked Peter Obi, 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), to quickly decide on whether he wants to join the party.

The party said while Obi is a key political figure in its coalition, it would not compel him to become a member.On Wednesday, Obi said the ADC coalition is faltering because it has yet to settle questions on zoning and the rotation of key offices.Despite his reservations, Obi expressed confidence in the calibre of leaders driving the coalition, including David Mark, former senate president, and Atiku Abubakar, former vice-president.

Bolaji Abdullahi, ADC spokesperson, told Punch that the party is not yet at the stage to adopt zoning and that its priority for now is to position itself as a credible alternative.

“We’re not talking about zoning or no zoning now. Nigerians are still waiting for us to tell them what we will do differently,” he said.
