A senior adviser to President Bola Tinubu has made a comment about a prominent politician from the Labour Party potentially joining the African Democratic Congress. Daniel Bwala, Adviser on Policy Communication to the President, stated that a “nomadic politician” from the Labour Party is planning to join the ADC. This remark comes amid speculation that former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi may officially join the ADC and contest for the party’s ticket in 2027.
Bwala’s comment was posted on the social media platform X, where he described the ADC as a “structure of criminality.” He further stated that the politician in question has a history of switching parties, having previously been associated with the PDP and APGA. Bwala suggested that this pattern of behavior may continue, with the politician potentially ending up in a secondary role.
The speculation about Peter Obi’s potential move to the ADC has been ongoing, with some sources suggesting that he may be considering a new political platform ahead of the 2027 elections. Obi’s presidential campaign in 2023 was notable for its strong showing, despite ultimately not securing the top office.
The development has sparked interest in the Nigerian political landscape, with many observers waiting to see how the situation unfolds. The potential move by Obi or another prominent politician could have significant implications for the ADC and the broader political landscape in Nigeria. As the situation continues to evolve, it remains to be seen how the various parties and politicians will navigate the changing landscape ahead of the 2027 elections.
