If every major ally of Peter Obi behaved exactly like Alex Otti, the practical effect would be a significantly weakened, fragmented, and less confrontational opposition ahead of 2027. And this isn’t because , he didnt move to the NDC with Peter Obi. No, far from it. This is because if  all Obi’s allies adopted the same stance, […]
