Former Anambra State governor, Peter Obi, has indicated that he may leave the African Democratic Congress (ADC) if the party’s internal processes are compromised.

Obi made this known during an interview on Arise TV on Monday, where he also reflected on his previous defections and reaffirmed his stance against what he described as “transactional politics.”

Explaining his departure from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Obi said his decision was driven by concerns over internal practices and governance issues..

“I moved from APGA to the PDP because of issues with my successor. Rather than allow it to become toxic and become destructive to the governance of the State, I moved out,” Obi said.

Obi recounted his time in the PDP and how it became transactional in the party.

“People were not playing by the rules. It was transactional. I cannot be part of a transactional primaries. I cannot be paying people to go and serve them,” Obi said.

“So I moved to Labour Party, and of course like I said, government came into same system, which is very clear, I escaped from the fire they started.

“I’m in ADC with the same people, some of whom have left PDP and other parties but we are going through the same process.

“If that process is again compromised, I will speak out.

“If I have to move 20 times, I will,” Obi emphasized.
