The All Progressives Congress (APC) has criticised Peter Obi, former presidential candidate following his resignation from the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Felix Morka, APC national publicity secretary slammed Obi in a post on social media on Sunday, describing him a “political rolling stone” who frequently switches parties in pursuit of what he described as an “easy” path to the presidency.
“Peter Obi, a political rolling stone that gathers no moss… roaming again in search of free, uncontested, unchallenged presidential ticket,” Morka wrote, alleging that the former Anambra State governor has shown little commitment to building any political platform.
He further accused Obi of avoiding internal party competition, claiming he prefers “a ticket delivered only on a platter of gold,” while tracing his political journey across multiple parties.
The remarks followed Obi’s recent exit from the ADC, a decision he said was driven by deepening internal crises and what he described as a toxic political environment within the party.
In his statement, Obi clarified that his departure was not due to personal grievances with party leaders, including David Mark and Atiku Abubakar, both of whom he said he continues to hold in high regard.
He maintained that persistent internal divisions and distractions had shifted focus away from addressing critical national challenges, prompting his decision to step away.
Despite the backlash, Obi insisted he is not driven by personal ambition, reiterating his commitment to improving the welfare of Nigerians and advocating for responsible leadership.
