Peter Obi’s defection from the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) to
the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) did not surprise me.
Unlike Bianca, widow of Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, I knew the former Anambra State
Every discerning political observer knew that despite Obi’s
protestations and despite his vow that he would quit partisan politics any day
he left APGA, he had a crush on the PDP. His body language betrayed him.
That Obi had the patience to
serve out his second term as governor on the platform of APGA was the only
surprise.
I did not want to comment on his defection until I read Bianca’s
interview in the Daily Sun and Obi’s reaction. Bianca is pained by what
she calls Obi’s “betrayal and
unimaginable breach of trust.” She is livid that Obi did not take her into
confidence.
