A Political Economist, Pat Utomi, says the former Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi, has been in the African Democratic Congress, from the beginning.
He was reacting to Obi joining the ADC from the Labour Party.
“Mr Peter Obi was in this conversation from the get go. He didn’t defect yesterday. We’ve been working out what will work to ensure that Nigerians are brought together under one head. You listen to him, he talk about inclusion, everybody coming together, because that’s the only way we can make progress.
“Forget politicians who said that all they need to do is grab power and everything is okay because they are okay for a moment, but the country is not in a position to really seriously work together.
“When you have the kind of divisiveness, the kind of exclusion that Nigeria currently is, economic progress does not take place, forget about 4% GDP growth.
“Real growth doesn’t take place without peace and a clear direction bought into by all working together to ensure that we get there,” he said.
