Obi/Kwankwaso’s defection to NDC: “Do you think Tinubu cancelled his health trip for fun?” — Man makes claims

A political claim circulating on social media has stirred fresh debate after a man alleged that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu cancelled a planned foreign trip due to recent political developments involving key opposition figures.

The man, in a post that has since gained attention online, linked the alleged decision to the defection of prominent politicians, Peter Obi and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, to a new political party identified as the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC).

Claims of Strategic Political Moves

In his statement, the man argued that the emergence of the NDC was not sudden but carefully planned over time.

He referenced former Bayelsa State Governor, Seriake Dickson, insisting that such a figure would not engage in impulsive political decisions.

According to him, the situation escalated when it became clear that the African Democratic Congress (ADC) would not serve as the main coalition platform.

He claimed this prompted urgent legislative actions aimed at restricting last-minute political alignments.

“The NDC movement wasn’t an impromptu movement,” he wrote. “What quickened it was that when Tinubu found out ADC wasn’t the mainstream coalition party, he quickly sent his boys to the NASS to pass a bill which will prevent any last minute movement.”

Allegations Around Cancelled Trip

The man further suggested that the alleged defection of Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso forced a rapid response within the ruling camp.

He claimed this development influenced the President’s decision to cancel a reported health-related trip abroad.

“You think Tinubu cancelled his health trip for fun? It’s bigger than what many think,” he added.
