A senior adviser to President Bola Tinubu has commented on the possibility that a prominent Labour Party politician may join the African Democratic Congress (ADC). Daniel Bwala, the President’s Adviser on Policy Communication, said on the social media platform X that a “nomadic politician” from the Labour Party is planning to switch to the ADC. He described the ADC as a “structure of criminality” and noted that the politician in question has a history of party‑hopping, having previously been associated with the PDP and APGA. Bwala suggested that this pattern could continue, potentially leaving the politician in a secondary role.
The remark comes amid ongoing speculation that former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi might officially join the ADC and contest its ticket in the 2027 elections. Obi’s 2023 presidential campaign was notable for its strong showing, even though he did not win the office. Some sources say he may be considering a new political platform ahead of the 2027 polls.
The potential move—whether by Obi or another high‑profile figure—has attracted considerable interest in Nigeria’s political landscape. Observers are watching closely to see how the situation unfolds, as it could have significant implications for the ADC and the broader political environment as parties and politicians navigate the lead‑up to the 2027 elections.
