Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Media and Policy, has predicted that Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s (LP) 2023 presidential candidate, will soon abandon the party and align with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2027 elections.
Bwala made this bold assertion on Wednesday during an interview on TVC, suggesting that Obi’s defection is not just likely but imminent.
“Do you know we are emptying the Labour Party? Not because we are asking them to come,” Bwala declared confidently. “Valentine Ozigbo has joined us, Isaac Balami has joined us. Even Peter Obi will join us. Peter Obi will not run in the Labour Party. For Valentine Ozigbo to come to our party and he is actually the custodian of Peter Obi, then I know for a fact that Peter Obi will join us.”
