Responding to criticism that he often exits parties instead of fixing internal issues, Obi said his past departures were driven by a refusal to participate in flawed or unethical systems.
“I moved from APGA to the PDP because I had issues with my successor, the governor, who came after me. I will not allow it to become toxic and become destructive to his governance of the state. I moved out,” he said.
He added that his exit from the Peoples Democratic Party was due to irregularities in its internal processes.
“In PDP, I said it before, people were not playing by the rules, it was transactional, I cannot be part of transactional primary, I cannot be paying people to serve them, so I moved to Labour,” Obi stated.
The former Anambra State governor also accused the ruling party and the Federal Government of masterminding the crisis that led to his decision to leave the Labour Party, citing delays in recognition of a Supreme Court ruling.
“In Labour Party, Supreme Court decided against it in April, INEC did not recognise it until 7th of January, eight months after,” he said, adding that attempts were made to trap him in a dysfunctional system.
“They thought I would be there for the fire to burn me. When I now escape they will now say Peter Obi cannot stay to put out the fire which they put and then I left,” he added.
On his current position in the ADC, Obi said he remains committed but warned that he would not hesitate to act if similar issues arise.
“I am in ADC with the same people, some of whom I left in PDP and other parties but we are going through the same process, if that process is again compromised, I will speak out.” he said.
Obi stressed that integrity in political processes is non-negotiable for him, noting, “If I have to move twenty times, I will do it. You cannot use the process of yesterday to build tomorrow.
He also maintained that he has never engaged in electoral malpractice or influenced judicial outcomes.
“I’ve never been involved in any form of rigging. I’ve never been part of paying people in judiciary or anywhere to give me judgment I do not deserve,” he said.

Your dumb ADC don't know how to turn on simple ACs. If they are too stupid to know how to turn on ACs, how can they rule a complex country called Nigeria? Or is it Tinubu that's making them stupid not to know how to use ACs?
Hahaha!

Air conditioning systems have failed at the venue of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) convention in Abuja, leaving delegates grappling with heat and discomfort.
The convention is currently being held at the Rainbow event centre in the nation’s capital.
On Monday, the ADC said it was denied access to the Eagle Square and Moshood Abiola National Stadium for its convention.
The opposition party later announced the Rainbow event centre as the venue for the convention.
Subsequently, Bolaji Abdullahi, ADC’s national publicity secretary, alleged that the management of the facility was under pressure to cancel the booking.
Speaking at the convention venue on Tuesday, Dino Melaye, former Kogi senator, said the event will hold despite the challenges.
“We are using this place by force,” Melaye said.
“After paying for this place, signing contractual agreements, they refused to let us use it. We don’t know where to turn on the central air conditioners.
“But we are working on getting the ACs on. Even if it is in a motor park, the convention will hold today. They don’t want it to hold, but by the grace of God, the convention will hold today.”
Melaye added that fans are being brought in to the convention venue.

Dino Melaye claimed he graduated from Harvard University during Buhari Administration, Harvard University disputed the claim. The Head of Department of Geography at ABU also said publicly, that Dino Melaye failed Geography and could not graduate.
Dino then approached the Vice Chancellor of ABU at the time called Garba as a Senator when he became a public ridicule. He bribed the VC and the VC issued him a fake certificate under Daniel Jonah Melaye with BA Geography (Third Class) certificate. It was all over the news in Nigeria at the time
DAILY POST reports that former Governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi and former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar are all aspiring to emerge the ADC flagbearer for the 2027 presidential election.
Speaking during a chat with Channels Television, Amaechi claimed that he is the only aspirant in the party who is not pursuing regional interests.
The former Minister of Transportation also declared that the party would conduct a proper primary election to determine who flies the flag.
He said, “It is within the right of the former vice president to say that he wants to run, nobody is stopping him. But he has to also understand that there are other factors beyond where he comes from.
“They are all regional candidates, but I am not a regional candidate. I’m not running because I’m Igbo, even though I’m partially one.
“I have said to Nigerians, leave region and ethnicity alone. That’s what put us here. Those who supported President Tinubu were pursuing religious agenda. They were so happy about the Muslim-Muslim ticket.
“Today, they have discovered that the market does not know Muslims or Christians. The market only understands naira and kobo, no other language.”
