The Deputy National Financial Secretary, of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Oladimeji Fabiyi, has said former Anambra state governor, Peter Obi, left the party because he was scared of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
Fabiyi made this known on Tuesday during a live appearance in an interview on ‘Politics Today’, a programme on Channels Television.
According to him, Obi and former Presidential candidate of the New Nigerian Peoples Party, NNPP, Rabi’u Kwankwaso, wanted a coronation.
“Peter Obi left the ADC because he was so scared of Atiku Abubakar. Obi and Kwankwaso wanted to bring in a coronation.
“Let me this abundantly clear. This has nothing to do with Atiku Abubakar. What Atiku did was to call for the convergence of all opposition elements. It started from PDP, and he rallied every individual.
“He convinced them. That is leadership. If they cannot give it to him, we will give it to him, and he should give it to himself.
“The only way this government of Tinubu can be pushed out is to bring all the opposition elements together. That was what Atiku did. And if some people are now misconstruing that, I don’t know where that is coming from,” Fabiyi said.
