The All Progressives Congress (APC) said on Wednesday defection of the Labour Party presidential candidate in the 223 election, Peter Obi, to the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has confirmed his return to the same political characters and structures he once publicly condemned.
The APC, in a statement issued on Wednesday by its Spokesman in Lagos State, Seye Oladejo, said the former Anambra State governor’s move had stripped him of the moral posture on which he built his political brand.
He added that Obi had “openly embraced the very political ecosystem he repeatedly described as corrupt, criminal and unfit for national renewal.”
“What Nigerians have witnessed is not political evolution but the confirmation of a pattern.
“Mr. Obi has returned to his vomit, without remorse and without explanation, choosing convenience over conviction,” he stated.
Oladejo said Obi’s formal entry into the ADC marked the public unveiling of what he called “a coalition of grievance and convenience,” rather than a movement driven by ideas or ideology.”
The spokesman described the ADC as a platform where “rejected ambitions and serial aspirants converge,” adding that Obi’s defection merely validated that characterisation.

He added: “This is not a coalition of ideas; it is a cartel of convenience.
“It is not about Nigeria; it is about power without responsibility.”
Oladejo also accused Obi of political inconsistency, noting that his history showed he was unlikely to contest elections consecutively on the same party platform.
“Even a political neophyte could predict this outcome.
“This move confirms a long-standing pattern of political promiscuity masquerading as principle,” the APC spokesman noted.
Obi dumped the Labour Party for ADC on Wednesday.
Some opposition political figures, including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, have adopted ADC as a political platform to challenge President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 election.
