The African Democratic Congress, ADC, has confirmed that the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 election is not a card-carrying member of their party.
ADC spokesman, Bolaji Abdullahi, revealed this while speaking on Channels Television on Wednesday night.
Abdullahi, however, insisted that Obi was part of their coalition from the first day.
“Peter Obi has been part of the coalition from day one.
“He has attended almost every meeting of the coalition.
“The reason Peter Obi has not come into the ADC as a card-carrying member is because he asked for leave to allow him complete the election that his people were involved in Labour Party.
“The same thing applies to Mallam Nasir El-Rufai. And they were both allowed by the leadership to complete the election processes that they started in their respective parties.
“Peter Obi is a member of the coalition, but not a card-carrying member of the ADC.”
