The Presidency has described former governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, as an opportunistic and inconsistent politician.
Presidential spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, stated this in a post on his 𝕏 account while reacting to Obi’s declaration that he could leave the African Democratic Congress (ADC) if internal processes are compromised.
In the interview, Obi defended his record, insisting his moves were guided by principle rather than personal gain. He claimed that his departure from the Labour Party was due to deliberate internal sabotage.
“They set the house on fire and expected me to remain inside. When I found a way out, they criticised me for not staying to put out a fire they started,” Obi said.
In his current position in the ADC, Obi stressed that he values current actions over past affiliations.
“What matters is not who people were before, but who they are now. We are undergoing a process together, and if that process is compromised, I will not hesitate to speak out, ” he said.
Reacting, Onanuga wrote, “Peter Obi, the peripatetic, opportunistic and inconsistent politician ever to operate in Nigeria, hints that he may leave the ADC, the way he left APGA, PDP and Labour. Listen to him.”
