Low Igbo membership registration could lose former Anambra State governor Peter Obi the party’s presidential ticket, according to Don Norman Obinna, the chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Abia State.
Speaking over the weekend in Umuahia as a special guest at the inauguration of the executive members of the Coalition for the Protection of Democracy (COPDEM) for Ikwuano, Umuahia North, and Umuahia South Local Government Areas, Obinna reportedly revealed this.
He claims that unless he gets a lot of votes, the former Labour Party presidential candidate might not win the ADC presidential primary.
In order to increase Peter Obi’s chances, Obinna encouraged party members in the State and other South-East lovers to take part in the ongoing online e-registration.
The ADC Chairman bemoaned the fact that, according to the organization’s current membership registration chart, approximately 400,000 people have joined in Abia State thus far, whilst the number for Adamawa State is getting close to one million.
“The question should be how we deliver Peter Obi, not just whether we want him to be president,” he stated.
According to the ADC online registration table, Adamawa has roughly 1 million members, whereas Abia has about 400,000. I want to know if Peter Obi will prevail in today’s primary election.
He exhorted COPDEM members and ADC members in general to promote awareness and demand excellent leadership and governance.
Speaking at the inauguration, Ogbonna Abarikwu, a candidate for the House of Representatives for the Ikwuano/Umuahia Federal constituency, and Prince Solomon, the chairman of COPDEM in Abia State, urged Nigerians to reject poor leadership.
