Datti clarifies relationship with Peter Obi
While speaking recently, he noted that he and Peter Obi maintains a solid relationship, despite being in different parties.
Datti stated that if Obi fails to secure the presidential ticket of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), he would welcome him back to the Labour Party and support his bid for the ticket.
He added that Obi did not inform him about his move to the ADC, noting that Obi likely understood he would not defect with him.
His words in part …
“Me and Mr Peter Obi have solid relationship. If Peter Obi doesn’t get the ticket in ADC, he should come back to the Labour Party, I will back him to get the ticket even though he did not tell me anything about the ADC party because he knew I will not join.”
