Why I switch parties — Peter Obi
People were not playing by the rules. It was transactional. I cannot be part of a transactional system,” Obi said.
Peter Obi has defended his record of moving between political parties, saying he leaves when a party abandons principles and begins to run on transactions and personal interests.
The former Labour Party presidential candidate spoke on Arise TV on Monday, where he addressed why he has switched parties numerous times.Obi said his first switch, from APGA to the PDP, was driven by a dispute with his successor as Anambra governor.
He said that he chose to leave rather than allow the conflict to damage governance in the state.
“I moved from APGA to the PDP because of issues with my successor.
Rather than allow it to become destructive to governance, I moved out,” he said.
He said that the PDP offered no better environment, describing the party as one where members ignored rules and reduced politics to a game of favours.
“People were not playing by the rules. It was transactional. I cannot be part of a transactional system,” Obi said.
He also pointed to internal crises and legal disputes within the Labour Party as factors that eroded its viability as a platform.
Obi is currently working with opposition figures linked to the African Democratic Congress as part of efforts to build a unified front ahead of future elections.
