African Democratic Congress (ADC) Interim National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, has said Labour Party (LP) 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, is unlikely to return to the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) because he is aware that the virus afflicting party has no cure.
He made this known recently during an interview with Nigerian Tribune.
While reacting to reports that Obi is considering returning to the PDP to contest for the 2027 presidential election, Abdullahi dismissed the claims.
He added that PDP is only trying to lure Obi back to its fold because it is looking for a poster boy to repair its bad image.
The ADC spokesperson went on to state that the former Anambra State governor has not informed ADC that he is no longer a key member.

Speaking during the chat, Abdullahi said: What I am saying is that anybody can talk to anybody. But if he comes back to us as party leaders to say see oh, what I told you the last time, my position has changed. Has he told us that? The answer is no.
“So, we will wait for Peter Obi to come and tell us that he is no longer part of the ADC. But he hasn’t done that, and we are confident that he is solidly part of this coalition; his nominees are in the hierarchy of this party, the leadership of the party. So, we aren’t bothered.
“You see, PDP is PDP. They are looking for a poster boy to repair their battered image. In the order of opposition ranking, I saw a poll, do you know that LP ranked higher than PDP?
“PDP is now number four in the order of ranking ahead of NNPP. So why should we be bothered? Peter Obi knows the virus that has afflicted PDP has no cure.”
