The All Progressives Congress (APC) has taken a swipe at Peter Obi following his exit from the African Democratic Congress (ADC), accusing him of constantly moving between parties in search of an easy path to power.
In a post shared on X on Sunday, APC spokesman Felix Morka described Obi as a “political rolling stone,” suggesting he lacks the patience to build a party structure from within.
Morka argued that Obi’s pattern of switching platforms from APGA to PDP, then Labour Party, and now leaving the ADC reflects a preference for securing a presidential ticket without going through a competitive internal process.
He went further, claiming the former Anambra governor appears to favour a “ready-made” route to the presidency rather than working his way through party ranks.
He ended his remarks by branding Obi a “political drifter.”
Obi, however, had earlier explained that his decision to leave the ADC was not driven by personal grievances against party leaders, including David Mark and Atiku Abubakar.
Instead, he pointed to persistent internal crises, legal disputes, and divisions within the party, which he said were distracting from addressing Nigeria’s deeper challenges.
The former presidential candidate maintained that he is not desperate for office, insisting his focus remains on governance reforms and improving the lives of Nigerians.
He also reiterated his belief that effective and compassionate leadership is still achievable in the country.
His exit adds to the shifting political landscape ahead of the 2027 elections, with alliances and party loyalties continuing to evolve.
