The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has extended its congratulations to Peter Obi for what it referred to as his “eventual compliance” with the long-standing request to join the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
It stated that Obi’s official transition to the ADC represents a long-anticipated revelation of a scheme intentionally created to destabilize Nigeria.
In a statement issued by its spokesperson, Seye Oladejo, the state branch of the party asserted that Obi’s defection is not a political transformation but rather a public manifestation of a coalition built on grievances, maintained by deception, and driven by a detrimental desire for national upheaval.
He remarked: “We still congratulate the ADC that Mr. Peter Obi has finally acquiesced to their prolonged request—or perhaps their directive—to join them.
“Regardless, the façade of independence has now been officially discarded. The choice of location for this announcement is not overlooked by discerning, nationwide voters who comprehend political nuances and symbolism. Nothing about this event was incidental; everything was deliberate.
“It is now abundantly clear that a predictable opposition cannot flourish nor hold a significant position in a thriving democracy. Long before this moment, even a political novice understood that Mr. Obi would not run for elections twice under the same political party, given his well-documented history of political inconsistency. His latest action merely reaffirms a pattern of opportunistic politics disguised as principle.
“Let us be clear: the ADC has not suddenly discovered an ideology. It has simply revealed its true nature as a political dumping ground where unfulfilled aspirations, electoral failures, and repeated candidates congregate to express recycled discontent. This is not a coalition of ideas; it is a convenience cartel. It is not about Nigeria; it is about power without accountability.”
