Bolaji Abdullahi, the Interim National Publicity Secretary of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, has sent a message to former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
Abdullahi urged Obi not to return to Peoples Democratic Party, PDP because the party has no cure.
Abdullahi said PDP is looking for a poster boy to repair their bad image, hence the attempt to woo Obi back into their fold.
He disclosed that the 2027 presidential hopeful has not informed ADC that he is no longer a key member.
This comes amid reports that Obi was considering returning to the PDP to contest for the 2027 presidential election.
Obi is said to have held talks with some top PDP officials while considering his moves.
But the Obidient Movement had insisted that Obi is still a member of the LP and would likely contest for the presidency in 2027.
However, speaking with Nigerian Tribune, Abdullahi said: “Has he told us? What I am saying is that anybody can talk to anybody. But if he comes back to us as party leaders to say see oh, what I told you the last time, my position has changed. Has he told us that? The answer is no.
“So, we will wait for Peter Obi to come and tell us that he is no longer part of the ADC. But he hasn’t done that, and we are confident that he is solidly part of this coalition; his nominees are in the hierarchy of this party, the leadership of the party. So, we aren’t bothered.
“You see, PDP is PDP. They are looking for a poster boy to repair their battered image. In the order of opposition ranking, I saw a poll, do you know that LP ranked higher than PDP?
“PDP is now number four in the order of ranking ahead of NNPP. So why should we be bothered? Peter Obi knows the virus that has afflicted PDP has no cure.”
