Akpabio made the remark during the commissioning of a new project, where he questioned the decision of some politicians to move to other parties after benefiting from millions of votes in an election. He said such actions weaken party systems and affect political stability in the country.

Although he did not directly mention Obi’s name, his comment pointed to a candidate who secured over six million votes in the 2023 presidential election but later moved away from the party platform that supported him.

Obi, a former governor of Anambra State, contested the 2023 election under the Labour Party and received wide support across the country. Recent political moves show that he is now seeking a presidential ticket under the African Democratic Congress ahead of the 2027 elections.
Akpabio’s statement adds to ongoing political debates about party loyalty and alignment as politicians begin to reposition themselves for future elections. The development reflects growing tensions and discussions within Nigeria’s political space as parties prepare for the next electoral cycle.
