Peter Obi breaks silence on joining PDP

• He also reaffirmed his allegiance to the African Democratic Congress, ADC, and he is focused on the coalition mission

Peter Obi, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, has cleared the air on his purported return to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

Recall that a letter credited to Obi claiming he had joined the PDP had surfaced on social media.

Reacting, Obi said the letter was a devious agenda of certain characters and asked the public to disregard it.

He also reaffirmed his allegiance to the African Democratic Congress, ADC, and he is focused on the coalition mission.

The former Anambra State governor debunked the defection rumour via a statement signed by Ibrahim Umar of the Peter Obi Media Reach, POMR, in Abuja on Tuesday.

The statement read in part: “Peter Obi has been unequivocal in his position in the ongoing coalition and didn’t need anyone to put words into his mouth.

“He has remained focused on his mission but would not accept anybody attributing a statement to him just to satisfy their devious agenda.

“The media office wishes, therefore, to urge the public to disregard any statement purported to come from him outside his media office or his official handle.”
