…says LP flagbearer’s media handler, aide already discussing with us
The wave of defections from the opposition political parties to the ruling All Progressives Congress has hit the camp of the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi.
Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Media and Policy, Daniel Bwala, disclosed in a television interview that some of Obi’s appointees are getting set to defect to the ruling APC.
According to Bwala, one of Obi’s handlers (names withheld) is already in APC, while “the second handler is in talks” with party leaders.
The presidential spokesman further revealed that one of Obi’s media aides has expressed interest in joining the ruling party.
Bwala 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 realise, we are not perfect as a government, but our hearts are right, our head is correct, and we are creating a national consensus.”
