In an interview with Daily Independent on Monday, April 27, 2026, Chief Dan Ulasi, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and former chairman of the party in Anambra State, has spoken about his past disagreement with Peter Obi and his current political stance.
He explained that there was no personal quarrel between him and Peter Obi, he said the misunderstanding started during the political activities leading up to the 2023 elections, according to him, a meeting was held involving Anambra stakeholders in Enugu State, where leaders were encouraged to hold their meetings in Awka instead of Enugu.
At that meeting, Peter Obi reportedly informed delegates of his intention to contest the presidency under the PDP, however, Ulasi said that shortly after, Obi left the party for the Labour Party without informing key stakeholders and described the move as unexpected and said it caused disappointment among some party members.
Ulasi noted that his reaction at the time was based on principle rather than personal anger, he said he felt it was important for political leaders to respect the stakeholders who supported their rise and explained that the issue was mainly about communication and loyalty within the party structure.
He added that the situation has now changed, according to him, both sides have since reconciled and moved past the disagreement and stated that there is no ongoing personal conflict between him and Obi.
Ulasi stated that his current view of Peter Obi is different from before, he described Obi as someone who still has value in Nigeria’s political space, he said he now sees him as a possible tool for positive change in the country, depending on how events unfold.
