Peter Obi began his political career in the All Progressives Grand Alliance after he was picked up by Dim Emeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, whom he subsequently betrayed and later divided that party. The chaos he caused was so deep-seated that he was cursed by the then Chairman of APGA, Victor Oye! Please fact-check me.
Then he moved to the Peoples Democratic Party and also caused havoc in that organisation by insisting on contesting against his former principal.
After splitting the PDP, he joined the Labour Party, and the once-united party split into two factions, each producing its own Chairman and NEC.
When he had finished destroying the Labour Party as a viable alternative, he officially joined the African Democratic Congress on Wednesday, December 31, 2025.
After just three weeks in the ADC, the official spokesman of that party publicly called the Obidient movement a "divisive" mob!
And instead of adjusting their behaviour, today, the Obidient movement has released a statement attacking the ADC for calling them divisive!
Now, if you have gone through four very different political parties and ended up with the same result of division, quarrels, and factionalism, the question you should ask yourself is this: Is it the parties that are the problem or Peter Obi?
How can a man who has divided four political parties in a row unite Nigeria?
How can a man who increased the poverty rate in Anambra from 41.4% in 2003 to 53.7% by 2009, a 29.7% increase, reduce the poverty rate in Nigeria?
How can an individual who did not build a single nursery, primary, or secondary school and university in his eight years as Anambra Governor improve the education sector nationally?
And finally, how can a Peter Obi, under whose security network, headed by the notorious James Nwafor (pictured here with Peter Obi, his boss), head of SARS Awka, hundreds of youths were extrajudicially murdered and their bodies were dumped in the Ezu River for crocodiles to feast on, secure Nigeria?
I do not envy the ADC at all. They are dining with the devil, and there is no spoon long enough to protect them from him.
