Headline: Obi's Handlers Jumping Ship? Tinubu's Aide Spills the Beans
Discussion In Progress Regarding Peter Obi Aides Potentially Joining APC, According to Presidency
Hey there! Let's dive into some juicy political gossip shall we? The cat's outta the bag, and it seems that Peter Obi's camp might not be as tight-knit as we thought.
During a chat on TVC last Monday, Bola Tinubu's special adviser on media and policy communication, Daniel Bwala, dropped a bombshell revelation: one of Peter Obi's handlers has joined the APC, and two more are engaging in covert discussions with APC bigwigs.
Bwala went on to say that one of Obi's media aides has even expressed interest in deserting the Labour Party ship for the APC. It seems it's not just governors flocking to the APC, but key managers of presidential candidates from the last election, too!
If you're wondering why the heck they'd wanna jump ship, Bwala stated that these guys see the APC as the right crew with the right intentions. “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," Bwala said.
Now, Bwala's got some strong words for Atiku Abubakar, too. In the same interview, he essentially threw in the towel for the dude, stating that it seems God doesn't want him to be the President of Nigeria. Ouch! Bwala advised Atiku to stop wasting his time and energies, and instead offer his contributions to Bola Tinubu for implementing. Otherwise, his political future might not be as sweet as he thinks.
According to our website, the Labour Party's been awfully restless these days. Apart from the defections, ex-ally Oseloka Obaze has quit the party over internal squabbles. TheBPmikeal's reporting that broader discontent among Obi's associates is simmering below the surface.
On the other hand, the political landscape could change dramatically as the 2027 elections approach. Rumors of potential collaborations between Obi and Atiku have been swirling. If these alliances and defections keep ramping up, it'll be a wild ride folks!
