The Special Adviser to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Media and Policy Communications, Daniel Bwala, has announced that Labour Party (LP) 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, would join the the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
Bwala asserted this in an interview with TVC on Wednesday, in which he cited the defection of Obi’s allies to back his claim.
“Peter Obi will not run under the Labour Party. For Valentine Ozigbo to join our party—Valentine Ozigbo is actually the custodian of Peter Obi—then I know for a fact that Peter Obi will join us.
“Do you know we are emptying the Labour Party? Not because we are asking them to come. Valentine Ozigbo has joined us, Balami has joined us, and even Peter Obi will join us,” he said.
Bwala also attributed the decision of former APC chieftain, Nasir El-Rufai, to pitch tent with the Social Democratic Party rather than the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to allegation that the ex-governor wanted a party where he would be pulling the strings.
“The reason El-Rufai did not go to the PDP is because he can’t dictate things there, but he told the world that the chairman of SDP is his friend. So they went there because they want to dictate what happens,” he averred.
