It’s possible that the wave of opposition party defections to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) also affected Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the last election.

In a television interview, Daniel Bwala, President Bola Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Media and Policy, said that some of Obi’s appointees are headed to join the ruling party.

Bwala particularly alleged that one of Obi’s handlers is already in APC, while “the second handler is in talks” with party leaders.

He further claimed that one of Obi’s media aides has showed interest in joining the party.

He said, “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.”
