Meanwhile, a principal official of the ADC in Abuja, during an interview with Punch, disclosed that Peter Obi’s supporters and loyalists have begun preparations for his defection.
The source disclosed that Peter Obi met with the National Chairman of the ADC, David Mark, to renew his allegiance to the coalition, after the party asked him to make up his mind on joining the party three weeks ago.
He said the party’s position might have convinced the former governor of Anambra State to finally decide to join the ADC.
According to him, Peter will hold a declaration rally in Enugu, the political capital of the South-East, on December 31.
