A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Ayekooto Akindele, has said the African Democratic Congress, ADC, is former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s vehicle to truncate the southern presidency.

Ayekooto was reacting to remarks by the Obidient Movement that Peter Obi made a wise decision in decamping from ADC to the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC.

He explained that Atiku tried to use the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to get power to return to the North but failed.

Posting on his Facebook page, Ayekooto wrote: “ObiDENTs say Obi is a wise politician by not contesting in the ADC Primary but instead ran away from the party. I disagree with them.

“The most foolish ignorance of any politician is not to know from the beginning that ADC was Atiku’s vehicle to truncate the Southern presidential term.

“It was an arrangement to return power to the North after 8 years of Buhari and 4 years of Tinubu. He had earlier used PDP but failed.

“So, Obi would have been wise if he didn’t join ADC at all. And the most foolish thing he did was to decamp from LP and he ended up in NDC. This clearly shows that Alex Otti is a sensible man and Peta is a foolish man to the core.”
