A Northern leader, Alhaji Buba Galadima, stated that former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and his counterpart of the New Nigerian Peoples Party, NNPP, Rabi’u Kwankwaso, were deceived into joining the African Democratic Congress, ADC.
He said this while confirming that Obi and Kwankwaso will be joining the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC. Speaking on Saturday at the ongoing stakeholders’ meeting organised by the Obi-Kwankwaso Movement in Abuja, Galadima said those behind ADC had a single agenda.
He identified the agenda as the presidential ambition of former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.
“We don’t want a repeat of what happened in the ADC to occur again. We discovered late that Atiku and his loyalists lured our leaders to that opposition party to fulfil only one single mission – Atiku’s presidential ambition,” he said.
On the way forward, he confirmed the NDC defection arrangement. “Both Obi, Kwankwaso, and their chieftains were on the ground between yesterday and this morning, signing the relevant documents with Senator Dickson and the Nigerian Democratic Congress, NDC leaders.
“All is now set. Both Obi and Kwankwaso will announce their defection from the ADC on Monday. As from Monday, when our leaders declare on which platform they will run, I want to tell you that one of two things will happen. And I’m here to guide you on your response to what will happen.
