Defection: Peter Obi ran for his political life – Prof Ikechukwu

The Executive Director, Development Specs Academy, Prof Okey Ikechukwu, has described the defection of Peter Obi from the African Democratic Congress, ADC, to the Nigerian Democratic Congress, NDC, as running for his political life.

Ikechukwu made this remark on Tuesday in an interview on Arise Television’s ‘Morning Show’.

He described Obi’s defection alongside former presidential candidate of the New Nigerian Peoples Party, NNPP, Rabi’u Kwankwaso as a result of “strategic porting”.

“Peter Obi simply ran for his political life. A woman who is running from a lion does not do catwalk. That is where Peter Obi has found himself.

“Peter Obi has moved to a platform no one anticipated, one that holds the prospect of giving us genuine elections in 2027.

“Now those who have to recalibrate are APC and the other parties. Scenarios can be examined because the argument is now on the table. The opposition is splitting itself thin,” he said.
