BREAKING NEWS ( INSIDER REPORT)

There are alleged plans within the APC-led government to ensure that Peter Obi does not secure either the presidential or vice-presidential ticket on the ADC platform.

A high-level meeting reportedly held last night where this strategy was openly discussed. According to insiders, APC power brokers believe that any ticket featuring Peter Obi, whether as presidential or vice-presidential candidate would be extremely difficult to defeat, especially when weighed against the combined electoral strength of Obi’s over 6 million votes and Atiku’s 6 million+ votes, alongside growing nationwide dissatisfaction with the APC administration.

Within that assessment, the conclusion was clear: an Obi-led or Obi-backed ticket represents a political dead end for the APC.

As a counter-strategy, plans are allegedly underway to push high-value political defectors into the ADC, with the sole aim of manipulating and fracturing the party’s primaries. These individuals are expected to declare presidential ambitions within the ADC to dilute consensus and derail Obi’s path to the ticket.

Billions of naira are reportedly being earmarked for the execution of this plan. As always in Nigerian politics, money, lots of it, is the primary weapon.

Whether this strategy succeeds or collapses under its own weight remains to be seen. Only time will tell.
