Fact-Check: Has Peter Obi Really Joined APC? Former Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has disputed claims of defecting to the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Obi, a former governor of Anambra State, reported he has no intention of uniting with the ruling APC.
Posting on X, he distanced himself from any involvement in an APC gathering.
Obi assured that he does not involve himself in toxic politics, blackmail, or any mode of political manipulation.
According to Obi: “I have come across a report circulating on social media regarding an APC gathering where my name was mentioned.
“Let me make it essentially clear: I do not engage in toxic politics, blackmail, or any modality of political manipulation. My name should not be affiliated with such narratives.
“For the avoidance of doubt, both now and in the future, I am not a member of the APC, nor am I an intending member. My stance on politics has always been rooted in integrity, fairness, and issue-based engagement.
“I intimately believe that all political parties should analyse aspirants solely on their competence, capacity, and compassion — qualities natural for building a better Anambra and a better Nigeria.
“As for Valentine Ozigbo, I maintain that he, like every other aspirant, should be analyzed based on these key leadership qualities in his new political party.
“I wish all political parties the very best in conducting free and fair primaries, and I summon on all stakeholders to exculpate justice throughout the process. We must dismiss toxic politics, for that is the only path to accomplishing the democratic nation we currently lack.
“By doing so, we will move closer to the new Nigeria we seek.”
