NDC Rift: Monye Accuses Party Spokesperson of Bias

A conflict has arisen within the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) involving Morris Monye, an ally of Peter Obi, and the party's spokesperson, Theo Agada. Monye publicly accused Agada of facilitating his removal as the House of Representatives candidate for Delta State, claiming that this decision was influenced by political figures who recently defected from the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Monye stated that reports of his replacement surfaced shortly after these defectors joined the NDC, with claims that he had lost the primary election. He communicated his concerns to Peter Obi, who advised him to focus on the party's presidential ambitions rather than his personal electoral issues.

Monye emphasized his commitment to Obi's vision for Nigeria and rejected claims that the new entrants had superior financial resources. He asserted his significant contributions to the NDC and criticized the favoritism shown to newcomers over longstanding members.
