Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, has claimed that the former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi will soon be defecting to the ruling All Progressives Congress.

Bwala in an interview with TVC on Wednesday, believed that the APC will empty the opposition Labour party of all its major members, citing that Valentine Ozigbo’s coming to the APC is a major indication that Obi will also join the party.

He said, “Do you know we are emptying the Labour Party? Not because we are asking them to coming. They are coming. Valentine Ozigbo has joined us, Balami has joined us, even Peter Obi will join us.

“Peter Obi will not run in Labour Party. They are all leaving Labour Party, it’s a fact. 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. Do you know why I say that? You see after one or two weeks of this mini-dramatic activity, because the way they scheme these things is that every week, you will hear a breaking news ‘a gladiator has joined SDP’, so that they will dominate the media space with conversations, and I hope that the media will be smart enough to know that.

“By the time the two weeks is over and they are able to enjoy this momentary coverage, when they sit down they’ll start fighting over who will be president or vice president.

“The reason El-Rufai did not go to PDP is because the structure there he can’t go and dictate things for them, but he told the world that the chairman of SDP is his friend, so they went there because they want to go and dictate.”
