We're not endorsing Peter Obi - ADC - News & Information You Need to Know from ROOTS TV

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has distanced itself from the recent ‘alleged’ endorsement for Peter Obi.

In a press statement, issued by the party’s Board of Trustees Chairman, Senator Patricia Akwashiki, described the act as “fraudulent, void and of no effect”.

The BOT chairman blamed a faction of the Party, led by its immediate past National Chairman, Ralph Nwosu for the anti-party activity.

She further warned that those involved in the act to desist or face the full wrath of the law.

The statement read in part, “They have divided themselves into three groups and collected money from APC, PDP and Labour. One party, three endorsements within the space of four days. Shameful.”

The party under the interim leadership of Senator Patricia Akwashiki, said that those who did the endorsements were “impostors” and “impersonators” who were no longer members of the party and therefore has nothing to do with the authentic ADC recognized by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

“We are appalled that renegades who are no longer known to the ADC can constitute themselves into a criminal gang to perpetuate illegalities all in the name of making quick money.

“This condemnable action will not stop our party or its presidential candidate from running the race to the very end.

“We are determined to ensure that the bright chances of all ADC candidates in the forthcoming general elections are not sold or

mortgaged as was the practice in the past.

“The arm of the law will soon catch up with all those responsible for these criminal and shameful activities.”

The Ralph Nwosu faction of the ADC, on Monday, announced that it endorsed the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and vice presidential candidate, Datti Baba-Ahmed ahead of the general elections.

This follows multiple statements made by the ADC presidential candidate, Dumebi Kachikwu, which indicated that the other faction of the party has always had plans to sell its mandate to another party.

In a press statement released on 17^th February 2023, Kachikwu decried how the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has colluded with the Nwosu faction to frustrate his political ambition.

This was one of many warnings made by the candidate.
