Wetin dey happen for Labour Party side as Peter Obi don pack him bag join African Democratic Congress (ADC)? That one be like movie wey never finish! Obiora Ifoh, wey dey represent Julius Abure‘s side, don come talk wetin happen behind the scenes.
During interview wey dem give Ifoh, e clear say nobody talk say dem dey regret say dem use Obi carry presidential ticket for 2023. Na risk dem take with Obi, as dem believe say he go fit deliver the goods. But as dem dey talk now, the kind things wey Obi don dey do, e don dey show say him no dey follow dem democratic route again. Na why dem sharp mouth talk say him be anti-democratic!
Ifoh drop some gist wey talk say after election, Obi suppose work better to gather the votes wey Labour Party get, but instead, na him want make dem remove their executives. E no make sense at all! How you go come back after all the support to say make dem go?
Some people dey talk say the wahala wey dey happen na because Obi no gree give money to Labour Party executives. Ifoh no gree this talk, as him talk say nobody don ever accuse dem say dem demand any cash from Obi, and the guy no even drop one kobo during campaign. Na everybody sabi that mantra: ‘no shishi, Obi no dey give shishi’. Na so e be!
When dem ask wetin dem go do to fund their campaigns, Ifoh explain say dem sell forms, collect money wey no even complete the budget. Na wetin wan carry dem go for court you go sabi! Once the matter don start, na dem don get over 30 suits from Obi side against Labour Party. E be like say dem get heavy sponsors wey dey help dem draw this kind matter!
As e dey hot, Ifoh dey firm say Obi don join ADC, but no be wetin we go call happy ending! E don dey clear say Obi no fit stay one place, as him don chop from PDP, APGA, and now back to ADC! People dey wonder, wetin dey happen sef, why e no fit just settle?
Ifoh dey talk say the real strength of Labour Party no be just because of Obi, but the grassroots wey dey behind dem. E talk say na dem people wey no get confidence for old politicians wey don chop Nigeria dry! Now dey want new blood wey go fit change the story. Na so Labour Party wan carry their ideology go front.
And the funniest thing, Ifoh dey yan say the ‘Obidients’ wey surround Obi no dey carry Labour Party membership card. Dem just dey follow Obi like say na film wey dem dey watch. All the noise wey dem dey make, when it reach to vote, some go even come without voter card. Abeg, we no need dem wahala! Labour Party go focus on young Nigerians wey really wan make change happen.
So, make we see how this ADC matter go unfold, if Obi go fit make wave again or if e go just be another foray into the political ocean filled with sharks. The race don start be that, and plenty eyes dey watch! We go dey bring una updates as e dey hot.
