The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, has claimed that Peter Obi, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, will soon join the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Bwala made this statement while speaking on TVC’s Breakfast Show, where he reacted to reports about former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, leaving the APC for the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
During the discussion, Bwala stated, “Do you know we are emptying the Labour Party? Not because we are asking them to come, they are coming. Valentine Ozigbo has joined us, Balami has joined us, even Peter Obi will join us.”
He further suggested that ongoing political realignments, including discussions about a coalition against the APC ahead of the 2027 elections and El-Rufai’s move to the SDP, are primarily driven by personal ambitions rather than for good governance.
