Peter Obi Resigns From ADC

Obi said the move follows internal division, legal disputes and alleged infiltration, while he reaffirmed his focus on Nigeria’s insecurity and poverty.

  • On Sunday, former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi announced his resignation from the African Democratic Congress , citing a toxic political environment marked by external interference and internal division.

  • Clarifying his decision, Obi stated he holds no personal grievances against party leaders, emphasizing he continues to respect former Senate President David Mark and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
  • Despite leaving the party, Obi reaffirmed his commitment to Nigeria's progress, emphasizing that his primary concern remains citizen welfare, particularly regarding insecurity, poverty, and displacement.
