Peter Obi Will Soon Join APC – Tinubu’s Aide, Bwala Claims
Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Policy Communication, has claimed that Peter Obi, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), will soon defect to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Bwala made the statement during an appearance on TVC’s Breakfast Show while reacting to reports that former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, is set to leave the APC for the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
“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,” Bwala declared.
He further downplayed ongoing political realignments ahead of the 2027 general election, suggesting that moves by opposition figures, including El-Rufai’s rumored defection, are driven more by personal ambitions than a genuine desire for good governance.
There has been no response from Peter Obi regarding the claim.
