Mr Kenneth Okonkwo, a spokesman for the African Democratic Congress, ADC, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has said the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential flag bearer, Peter Obi, entered a trap with his party.
Okonkwo explained that Obi was lured out of the ADC into the NDC, where he is now trapped.
The lawyer spoke in an interview with Channels Television on Thursday, where he described Atiku as the leader of the opposition.
Okonkwo said the former vice president challenged President Bola Tinubu to a debate because he is the leader of the opposition.

He said: “Atiku challenged Tinubu to a debate officially because he is the leader of the opposition.
“NDC came into opposition on December 10 through a court order. Legally speaking, it’s a political association and not a party, according to the judgment of the court, and they are now appealing.
“Why did I say that Atiku is the leader of the opposition? The opposition came together to form a coalition, and they chose the ADC on July 2, 2026, and all of us were there, including Peter Obi.
“Obi left for the NDC, where he has now entered a trap because they used the NDC to lure him away.
“I can tell you that all the opposition candidates have come together and chosen Atiku Abubakar.”
