Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Media and Policy, has suggested that Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, is likely on his way to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Speaking during an interview on TVC on Wednesday, Bwala said he got this impression following the defection of Obi’s close ally, Valentine Ozigbo, to the APC to contest the governorship election.
Ozigbo, a key supporter of Obi, was frequently seen alongside him during campaign events leading up to the 2023 elections.

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 has not yet responded to Bwala’s claim.
