Okonkwo: Leaving ADC After Ticket Loss Aids Tinubu

Kenneth Okonkwo, a prominent chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), expressed that any presidential aspirant who departs the party after failing to obtain the presidential ticket is, in essence, aiding Bola Tinubu, the current president. His comments were made during a statement on Saturday, highlighting the ongoing political dynamics within the ADC.

This assertion comes in the context of speculation surrounding former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi's possible defection to the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC). Okonkwo emphasized that he would mobilize support against anyone who leaves the ADC platform without securing the presidential ticket, indicating a strong commitment to the party's integrity.

Additionally, he referenced the Kwankwasiyya movement and the former presidential candidacy of Rabi'u Kwankwaso, suggesting a broader political landscape where party loyalty is under scrutiny.
