The Presidency has slammed the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Peter Obi, over his reaction to the recent court judgment nullifying the leadership of the African Democratic Congress, ADC.
The criticism was made by Dada Olusegun, Special Assistant
to President Bola Tinubu, on social media, who accused Obi of contradicting his
earlier position on the internal crisis rocking the ADC.
In a post on his X handle, Olusegun shared a video of Obi
explaining why he and his supporters left the ADC for the Nigeria Democratic
Congress, NDC, citing unresolved crises and multiple litigations within the
party.
In the video, Obi was heard saying: "There have been
crisis upon crisis, litigation upon litigation in our party (ADC), which made
us leave that party for another because of several unresolved litigations. And
we have left that place to NDC, where the leader has already told us no
litigations, and we are pleading with them (ADC) not to come here.”
Sharing the video, Olusegun described Obi as a “barefaced
hypocrite”, questioning his recent reaction to the court ruling.
“Mr Peter Obi must have forgotten everything he said in this
video. Mr barefaced hypocrite, is this you?” he wrote.
Obi had earlier reacted to the Federal High Court judgment
in Abuja nullifying the emergence of the Senator David Mark-led ADC leadership
and all actions taken by the executives.
The former Anambra State governor said he received the news
with shock, describing the development as unsettling and surprising.
He, however, clarified that he was not challenging the
court’s ruling, stressing that the judiciary was empowered to determine
disputes according to the law.
He alleged that the instability was engineered by the ruling
party, the All Progressives Congress, APC, claiming that similar tactics had
been used against him in the Labour Party to restrict opposition activities and
undermine robust campaigns.
Obi further alleged that the same pattern was responsible
for the violence witnessed during opposition campaigns.
