Peter Obi Denies Avoiding Atiku, Says ‘I’ve Never Run From Anybody’

At a pan-African governance forum in Cape Town on May 22, Peter Obi dismissed claims that he is avoiding former vice-president Atiku Abubakar. Describing Atiku as a respected leader and “elder brother,” Obi insisted he has “never run from anybody.” He said their political differences reflect different approaches, not avoidance. The remarks follow the collapse of their coalition under the African Democratic Congress earlier this year. After leaving ADC with Rabiu Kwankwaso, Obi joined the Nigeria Democratic Congress and called for an end to litigation-driven politics.
