The trend of opposition members defecting to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) appears to be reaching the inner circle of the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
According to Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser on Media and Policy to President Bola Tinubu, some individuals appointed by Obi are currently in discussions about joining the APC.
Bwala specifically claimed that one of Obi’s handlers is already in APC, while “the second handler is in talks” with party leaders.
He further revealed that one of Obi’s media aides has expressed interest in joining the party.
He said, “Governors are on their own coming into our party. What about the key managers of specific presidential candidates of the last election?
“Take, for example, Peter Obi, one of his handlers, is with us. The second handler is in talks with us. One of his media spokesmen is in talks with us.
“Why are they joining us? Nobody is giving anybody kobo, but because they realize we are not perfect as a government, but our hearts are right, our head is correct, and we are creating a national consensus.”
