Yunusa Tanko Says He Was Pushed Out of Peter Obi’s Camp After ‘Betrayal’

Yunusa Tanko says he did not choose to leave Peter Obi’s political camp, but was pushed out after experiencing what he described as a betrayal of trust and loyalty. He made the remarks shortly after being unveiled as coordinator of the SDP presidential campaign council. Tanko said he had served Obi with diligence and still respected him, but could not remain where his contributions were no longer valued. He added that his resignation letter outlined his grievances and that he would share more details in a planned book. Asked who he would support if opposition parties agreed on a consensus candidate for 2027, Tanko said the decision would be up to his principal. He said his commitment to Nigeria’s development remained unchanged.
