The Obidient Movement has reacted to the African Democratic Congress (ADC) directive asking coalition members to resign from their former political parties before being formally recognised.

On Thursday, Bolaji Abdullahi, the interim national publicity secretary of the ADC, said the coalition had given a final order for members to quit their former parties.

“Though a final order has been given to all members to resign their membership of other political parties, the caucus was silent on the timeline,” Abdullahi said.

“The coalition has rested everything concerning the ADA; that means they are not interested in the registration or otherwise of the association.

“All the presidential aspirants have agreed to support whoever wins the primary election.”

Responding in a statement on Friday, Yunusa Tanko, national coordinator of the Obidient Movement, said Peter Obi had already aligned with the coalition’s adoption of the ADC, noting that the alignment extends to the November 8 governorship poll in Anambra and the 2027 general election.
