Peter Obi Resigns from ADC, Cites State Infiltration

Peter Obi, the former presidential candidate of the Labour Party and ex-governor of Anambra State, announced his resignation from the African Democratic Congress (ADC). In his statement, he cited the growing internal crisis within the ADC, alleging that agents of the Nigerian state had infiltrated the party, creating unnecessary conflicts.

Obi expressed that the situation within the ADC had become characterized by endless court cases and suspicion, detracting from the party's focus on national development. He emphasized that his decision to leave was not influenced by personal grievances against the party's leadership, which includes notable figures like David Mark and Atiku Abubakar.

Obi lamented the toxic political atmosphere in Nigeria, highlighting issues of insecurity, poverty, and hardship faced by ordinary citizens. Despite his resignation, he remains hopeful for Nigeria's future, advocating for compassionate leadership that promotes justice and equal opportunities for all citizens.
