Politician Dino Melaye has criticised Peter Obi over his recent defection from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC).
In a post shared on Instagram, Melaye argued that if Obi cannot withstand challenges within a political party, he may struggle to handle the complexities of governing Nigeria.
He further claimed that the NDC is an extension or “agent” of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Melaye wrote:
“Peter Obi excused himself from a tough situation. If he cannot face party tribulations and crisis, how does he intend to handle Nigeria? Because Nigeria wahala pass ADC problems oooo. He can only operate in an air-conditioned kitchen. Hot kitchens are not for him. He has never gone through primary elections; APGA gave him a free governorship ticket, Atiku gave him a free VP ticket, Labour gave him a free presidential ticket. He cannot be part of a primary election, reason why he left PDP, reason why he left ADC for another free ticket in NDC. NDC is an agency of APC.”
On Sunday, May 3, Obi resigned from the ADC, citing what he described as a “toxic” political environment and worsening internal instability. He has since joined the NDC.
