The Presidency has warned the former Anambra Governor, Peter Obi, against unfairly targeting President Bola Tinubu over the ongoing crisis in the African Democratic Congress, ADC.
This was disclosed in a statement issued on Monday by the Special Adviser of the president on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.
Onanuga described the attacks as “baseless” and emphasized that the ADC turmoil is entirely self-inflicted.
“After using the Labour Party to contest the highest office in the country, Obi abandoned it in a classic case of use-and-dump, failing to demonstrate leadership in resolving the party’s crisis.
“Instead, he turned to the Obidient movement, more active online than on the ground, without transforming it into a political structure of his own.” Bayo Onanuga said.
“Knowing he needs a party structure to pursue his presidential ambitions, Obi moved to the hijacked ADC, an SPV bought by Atiku Abubakar from Ralph Nwosu.
“No due diligence appears to have been conducted by the new owners, resulting in the current turmoil.”
“What connection does President Tinubu have with all this? Absolutely none.
“Obi and his team must resolve their internal party issues before contesting for the 2027 presidential ticket.
“Blackmailing the President over a situation he has no hand in is sheer baloney and an unfair attempt to besmirch his democratic credentials.
“The fact that Obi came third in 2023 does not guarantee him similar results in 2027.
“President Tinubu, as the incumbent, has achievements to showcase, yet Obi has been blind to acknowledge them. Let him first become a legitimate candidate before casting aspersions,” the presidency said.
