The National President of the Obidient Movement, Yunusa Tanko, has said that Peter Obi will decide on fully joining the African Democratic Congress (ADC) after the November 8 Anambra governorship election.
Tanko disclosed this in an interview, while reacting to a call by ADC’s National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, urging all coalition leaders to resign from their current parties and register fully with the ADC.
He explained that the ADC had earlier granted Obi a waiver to carefully consider his options, stressing that the former Labour Party presidential candidate would not be compelled to abandon his current platform until the “right time.”
“The waiver still stands for us. They made the announcement but didn’t change it. If other people are joining them, it is okay. Very soon, our principal will make his position known.
“We agreed it would be after the Anambra November election, which has not taken place yet. After all, people, including the media, saw us campaigning for Moghalu in Anambra. So, there is no way we could jettison it until we finish that election.
“As far as we are concerned, it is more logical. Besides, the ADC didn’t give any ultimatum. Obi can only make his position known after the Anambra election. But presently, he is out of the country delivering a paper,” Tanko stated.
