Obi has been switching parties since 2014, nobody forced him – APC chair

ADC presidential candidate, Peter Obi

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, has dismissed allegations that the ruling party is behind the crisis and defections in opposition parties, saying the Nigeria Democratic Congress presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has been changing political parties since 2014 without any influence from the APC.

Yilwatda spoke on Tuesday during an interview on Channels Television.

He was responding to claims by opposition figures that the APC was weakening rival parties ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The APC chairman said the former Anambra State governor’s movement across political parties predates the current administration and could not be blamed on the ruling party.
