“Avoid Going To Court” – Peter Obi Urges Fellow NDC Members

Peter Obi

Former Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi, has urged members of the Nigeria Democratic Congress to shun litigation and internal disputes. He recently made the appeal in a video circulating hours ago, shortly after he and former Kano State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, were seen receiving membership cards of the party.

Warning that court battles could undermine efforts to build a viable political alternative ahead of the 2027 general elections, Obi highlighted the need for unity and discipline, stressing that internal legal conflicts have historically weakened political parties in Nigeria.

He concluded by stating that political actors must prioritise institution-building over personal interests.

His words, “Please let there be no litigation. Party members, please don’t go to court. We want to build a party, we are not lawyers.

We are pleading with the judiciary. Please end cases in party so we can face the job of building a new Nigeria that is possible.

We want to build a country where a child of nobody can be somebody without knowing anybody. That is what we want to do.”

WOW.
