Presidential Candidate of Labour Party in 2023 election, Peter Obi, is on his way to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), according to Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Media and Policy.
Speaking in an interview on TVC on Wednesday, Bwala said he got the feeling that Obi was on his way to the ruling party after his strong ally, Valentine Ozigbo, join the party to contest the governorship election.
Ozigbo was one of the major backers of Obi, appearing on his side at virtually every campaign outing in the buildup to the 2023 polls.
Bwala said, “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, even Peter Obi will join us.
“Peter Obi will not run in the Labour Party. For Valentine Ozigbo to come to our party — Valentine Ozigbo is actually the custodian of Peter Obi — then I know for a fact that Peter Obi will join us.”
Obi is yet to react to the claim of Bwala.
