Why I didn’t tell Atiku before leaving PDP for LP – Peter Obi

The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi, has opened up on why he did not inform the former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, before he left the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

MOUTHPIECE NGR observes that Obi dumped the PDP for LP in May.

The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, last week revealed on a television session, that Obi told him of his decision to leave the PDP three days after he left the party.

While responding to Atiku’s comments, the former governor of Anambra State admitted that the former VP was correct.

The former governor said he did not tell him because he didn’t want people to discourage him.

Obi also acknowledged that the PDP chieftain remained his respected elder brother.

The former Anambra governor on a tremendous session on Monday, said: “Yes, it is true. Let me tell you, Vice President Atiku remains my respected elder brother.

“His comments were true. When I left the PDP, I didn’t tell him and other respected people in my life, including my family.

“There is a tell in your life which you considered appropriate because you do not want people to talk you out of it, and this I did in the best interest of my future and Nigeria.

“Recall that when I left PDP, I said I would rather do the right thing and fail than do the wrong thing and succeed.

“That is why respectively, after one or two days after I took that decision, I elucidated it in a written message to him, saying I had to go because of the circumstances I found myself in and what I think was appropriate to do. and I know, knowing him, he respected my decision.”
