The Digest:
Former lawmaker Senator Dino Melaye has slammed Peter Obi over his exit from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC). In a statement on Wednesday, Melaye accused Obi of running away from competitive primary elections, saying, "He can only operate in an air-conditioned kitchen. Hot kitchens are not for him." He claimed Obi has never gone through a primary election, alleging that APGA gave him a free governorship ticket, Atiku gave him a free vice-presidential ticket, and Labour gave him a free presidential ticket. He added, "Nigeria wahala pass ADC problems oooo."
Key Points:
- Melaye accuses Obi of avoiding competitive primary elections throughout his political career.
- He claims Obi wants free tickets, not tough political battles.
- The former lawmaker suggests Obi cannot handle Nigeria's problems if he cannot face ADC's crisis.
- Melaye also alleges that NDC is "an agency of APC."
- The criticism follows the wave of defections from ADC to NDC led by Obi and Kwankwaso.
Watch whether Obi responds to Melaye's allegations and how the NDC primaries unfold.
