2027: Obi's key allies are joining APC - Presidency

 

Presidency has revealed that the gale of defections from opposition political parties to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has hit the camp of the 2023 Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, ahead of the 2027 general polls.

Recently the ruling party has received several leaders and members of opposition parties, notably Delta State Governor, his cabinet members, as well as his predecessor and other key stakeholders defecting from People Democratic Party (PDP).

Special Adviser to President on Media and Policy, Daniel Bwala, who gave the hint in a television interview, said some of Obi’s appointees are on their way to joining the ruling party.

For instance, 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.

“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.
