Peter Obi's 'unceremonious' exit from ADC left Southeast disadvantaged, confused - Okonkwo

ADC chieftain Okonkwo said Peter Obi's exit before the party's presidential primary left the Southeast region disadvantaged and confused, as it lost a potential vice-presidential candidate. Due to the Electoral Act, the ADC could not pick figures like Enyinnaya Abaribe or Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala because they were no longer members. Atiku Abubakar then chose Rotimi Amaechi, an Igbo, as his running mate, which initially raised concerns about geopolitical balance, but Okonkwo later expressed satisfaction after internal negotiations.
