Olusegun Dada, President Bola Tinubu’s Special Assistant on Social Media, has weighed in on Peter Obi’s recent departure from the African Democratic Congress (ADC). In a bold statement, Dada asserted that the former presidential candidate’s decision to leave the party serves as a divine endorsement for Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Taking to his X account, Dada rejected accusations from opposition figures who had attempted to pin the internal discord within their ranks on the president. He emphasized that the unfolding events have proven the narrative false, describing the situation as a moment of vindication from God. “Their efforts to blame President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for their internal strife have backfired, as God has once again justified him and the APC,” Dada wrote.
Peter Obi, in his resignation announcement, had alleged that infiltrators aligned with the Nigerian state were responsible for the turmoil in his previous party, the Labour Party, and suggested similar elements were now targeting the ADC. However, Dada’s remarks frame Obi’s exit as a clear sign of divine support for the ruling party, dismissing any claims of presidential interference.
