2027: Peter Obi’s exit from ADC left South-East disadvantaged – Kenneth Okonkwo

Kenneth Okonkwo, spokesman for the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, said that Peter Obi's exit from ADC left the South-East region disadvantaged and confused. He made the statement on Thursday on Channels Television's 'Morning Brief'. Okonkwo explained that Obi's exit created a vacancy that could not be easily filled because the Electoral Act bars parties from picking running mates who were not party members at least 21 days before the primary, ruling out names such as Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe and Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.
