The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, on Sunday described former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, as a political nomad following his reported exit from the African Democratic Congress.
Onanuga, reacting via his X handle to Obi’s announcement, dismissed the reasons given for leaving the party, characterising them as self-serving.
Obi, who officially joined ADC earlier this year, announced he left the coalition over worsening internal crises within the party and a toxic political climate.
He clarified that his departure was not due to personal issues with the party leadership, including former Senate President David Mark or former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, both of whom he said he continues to respect.
Onanuga, however, urged supporters to ignore what he described as “illogical musings” in Obi’s statement, accusing the former Anambra governor of avoiding a contest for the party’s ticket against figures like Atiku and former Rivers State governor, Rotimi Amaechi.
He wrote, “We told you so. The political nomad is on the move again. Ignore all those puerile reasons he gave in these illogical musings, a self-serving letter to his mob.”
He further criticised Obi’s political approach, alleging that he avoids difficult contests.
“Peter Obi is a politician made of jelly, an opportunistic fellow. He can’t fight Atiku or Amaechi for the ticket of ADC. He pursues the easy road, that will only lead him to doom, like in 2023.
“He always blames the government without doing a soul-searching of himself. Welcome, Peter to the 2027 race,” he added.
