NDC: ‘Stay back and fight’ – Sambo tells Peter Obi

MEDIA TODAY political editor, Sumner Sambo, has urged the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Peter Obi, to stay back in the party and fight.

Sambo made the call on Monday when he appeared as a guest in an interview on Arise Television’s ‘Morning Show’.

His call came after a Federal High Court in Lokoja, Kogi State, set aside its earlier judgment directing the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to register the NDC as a political party.

“Why is it that anytime Peter Obi gets into one party, there seems to be a decision or an abrupt measure to escalate problems in that party, or to ensure that the party doesn’t compete in the elections?

“So, I think Obi himself knows it, and this is the time for him to stay in the NDC and fight, not to start thinking of leaving the NDC. He should stay in the NDC and make sure that he fights it out and come out victorious.

“If they pursued him from the PDP to Labour Party, and then to the African Democratic Congress, ADC, what makes him think that if he leaves the NDC, that they won’t fight him again?

“It’s already too late, so let him stay in the NDC, show his political credentials, and then fight it out,” he said.
