Presidential aspirant Peter Obi, has dumped the main opposition party, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for an undisclosed party.
Obi gave an impression he could be humiliated if he continue to aspire to become president under the PDP, hinting that he may not get the party’s ticket.
Mr Obi confirmed his exit on Wednesday evening, saying he caught wind of a gang up against him.
The former Anambra governor who ran under the platform of APGA is expected to declare his new party soon
The development is expected to put additional spotlight on the PDP’s primaries scheduled to be held in Abuja this weekend, where Mr Obi was initially seen as a front runner in a race that includes Atiku Abubakar, Nyesom Wike, Dele Momodu, Bukola Saraki and other bigwigs.
A source familiar with the development said Mr Obi feared he might not do well at the convention, despite his widespread popularity and fame amongst everyday Nigerians.
