ADC chieftain Kenneth Okonkwo has issued a direct call to supporters of Peter Obi, declaring that any "Obidient" who has not joined the African Democratic Congress is effectively a "disObidient."

Key Points:

  • He stated that the South-East region has aligned with the ADC, suggesting that other paths benefit President Tinubu.
  • The lawyer emphasized that the ADC’s non-negotiable condition for membership is being a "true democrat."

  • Okonkwo clarified that the party has not yet decided on zoning its presidential ticket.
  • He positioned the ADC as the disciplined, democratic "vehicle of good people" for the opposition.
  • His comments aim to consolidate the fragmented Obidient movement under a single party banner.
