Presidential aspirant of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Peter Obi, has defended his party defections, hinting at doing the same with his current party should its internal processes be compromised.
Obi, who spoke on Arise Television’s Prime Time on Monday, insisted that his decisions have been guided by principles and not convenience.
The former governor disclosed that his past departures were driven by a refusal to participate in flawed or unethical systems.
“In PDP, I said it before, people were not playing by the rules, it was transactional, I cannot be part of transactional primary, I cannot be paying people to serve them, so I moved to Labour.

“In Labour Party, the Supreme Court decided against it in April, INEC did not recognise it until 7th of January, eight months after,” he said, adding that attempts were made to trap him in a dysfunctional system.
“They thought I would be there for the fire to burn me. When I now escape, they will now say Peter Obi cannot stay to put out the fire which they put and then I left.
“I am in ADC with the same people, some of whom I left in PDP and other parties, but we are going through the same process. If that process is again compromised, I will speak out”
“If I have to move twenty times, I will do it. You cannot use the process of yesterday to build tomorrow,” Obi said.
