    Don’t Turn ADC to Fuji House of Commotion; Momodu Warns Obidients Movement

    Nigerian journalist and former Presidential candidate, Dele Momodu, has warned the Obidient Movements against inciting discord within the African Democratic Congress (ADC) with their zeal to see the party’s Presidential ticket handed over their principal, Peter Obi, following his move to the party.

    NPO Reported that Obi had last month defected to the ADC from the Labour Party ahead of the 2027 Presidential election.

    His move to the coalition party alongside the Obidient Movement had however caused stir and controversies with some claims that the 2023 Labour Party Presidential candidate may end up settling for the ADC Vice Presidential slot.

    With the presence of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and some other Presidential hopefuls such as former Rivers state governor, Rotimi AMAECHI, in the party, Obi’s chance of securing the ticket was considered slim.

    Meanwhile, the Obidient Movement had rejected the Vice-Presidential slot rumour, stressing that their support for Obi is solely fueled by the desire to see him emerge as the Presidential candidate of the party.

    Reacting in a statement issued on his official X handle on Tuesday, Momodu charged the ADC leadership to maintain its stance against the incitement of chaos within the party by overly ambitious groups.

    While he did not directly mention the Obidient Movement, the Ovation Magazine publisher raised concern over the group’s aggression and tantrums.

    He charged the ADC leadership to instill discipline, warning against allowing the party to become like the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

    The statement read; “I was present when some members of Nigeria’s opposition political parties gathered in Abuja last year to adopt ADC as their new vehicle for driving out the ruling APC from power.
    “I listened most keenly to the various speeches. No one forced anyone to join. The main conveners promised to make it an open party for all, and one that will uphold democratic tenets.
    “No group or individual will be allowed to cause chaos, like it happened in PDP, and ADC will enforce discipline. I was most elated hearing these beautiful words.
    “I was happy to see an Army veteran and General DAVID MARK as Chairman knowing he would brook no nonsense.
    “But in recent time, some groups have introduced aggression and rambunctiousness into a fledgling cooperation, and collaboration, of all.
    “How can a coalition work if some groups insist, they must produce the top ticket by donation, and coronation, without election or persuasion?
    “Why unleash tantrums and expletives on one another as if one group can win National elections without the others?
    “This is why, and when, ADC must rise up and enforce discipline before it is too late.
    “This was how NYESOM WIKE held PDP by the jugular till it became too late to be dislodged or expelled. ADC should be a party of love and not a Fuji house of commotion.”
