Peter Obi planning to dump LP, join forces with El-Rufai — Bwala

 Ex-spokesperson for the Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign
Organisation, Daniel Bwala, has alleged an ongoing plot by the presidential
candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 Presidential Election, Peter
Obi, to dump LP and join immediate past Kaduna Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, in the
Social Democratic Party (SDP). In a post on his X handle on Friday, Bwala alleged that Obi
was perfecting plans to take leave of the LP as a result of the seemingly
intractable conflict between the party leadership and the leadership of the
Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC). Recall that Obi, a former Governor of Anambra State, dumped
the Peoples Democratic Party to join the LP in May 2023 ahead of the 2023
general elections. Bwala, in a post on his X handle. wrote, “Peter Obi
@PeterObi allegedly planning to unite with El-rufai @elrufai in Social
Democratic Party as Nigerian Labour Congress set to take ownership and custody
of their political party, the @NgLabour. “Recall that there was a judgment of court that states that
Nigeria Labour Congress owns Labour Party. NLC is now prepared to take custody
of that party. “Twist and turns in the coming days. But all that will not
give sleepless night to @officialABAT who himself has his magic wands to
wield.” When contacted, Chief Spokesman for the Obi/ Datti
Presidential Campaign, Dr. Yunusa Tanko dismissed Bwala’s assertion as “a
figment of his immagination.” He said, “Ordinarily, we wouldn’t respond to this fiction.
he (Bwala) is a politician who wants to remain relevant in the scheme of
things. We’ve responded to the false narrative of our leader leaving the Labour
Party in the past, this position has not changed.” El-Rufai was sighted at the national secretariat of the
Social Democratic Party, in Abuja, on Wednesday. The Ex-Kaduna State Governor and APC chieftain was sighted
in a viral video on social media during his consultation visit to the national
chairman of the SDP, Alhaji Shehu Gabam. Not much was heard from El-Rufai after the Senate refused to
confirm his ministerial nomination in 2023. After the screening of the 49 ministerial nominees sent by
President Bola Tinubu, the Senate also declined to confirm the appointment of
former Deputy Governor of Taraba State and another ministerial nominee from the
state, Senator Abubakar Danladi. 















































Senate President Godswill Akpabio, explained the Senate did
not clear the nominees because of adverse security reports against them.
