Renowned scholar, economist, and former presidential candidate, Professor Pat Utomi, has described the defection of former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, from the African Democratic Congress, ADC, to the New Democratic Congress, NDC, as a wise and timely decision, even as he declared that primary election processes across all Nigerian political parties are a complete farce driven by party bosses imposing candidates.

Utomi, who was recently appointed deputy chairman of the ADC manifesto and policy committee before the party crisis forced a realignment, made the declaration during an appearance on Arise Television’s PrimeTime programme.
