A public affairs analyst, Babajide Balogun, has reacted to the exit of former Governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, from the African Democratic Congress, ADC.
DAILY POST recalls that Peter Obi, on Sunday, announced his defection from the ADC.
Reacting, Balogun said Nigeria does not need political tourists drifting from platform to platform in search of the easiest path. It needs fighters, leaders who can stand, contend, and win on merit.
According to him, the opposition in Nigeria does not need escape artists but fighters. Nigeria deserves far better.
“When the final chapter of Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s presidency is written, history will not be kind to Peter Obi. It will record, plainly and without sentiment, that his political choices helped fracture a winnable opposition and paved the way for the very outcome his supporters now lament.
“Rather than strengthening the coalition, Obi and his camp ignited a rebellion from within,” he said.
Earlier, Bayo Onanuga, spokesperson to the president, described Peter Obi as an opportunist.
Similarly, Daniel Bwala, also a presidential spokesperson, said Peter Obi’s latest defection confirmed his prediction about the opposition leader.
