Peter Obi Allegedly Set To Leave LP, Join Forces with El-Rufai In SDP – Bwala Claims

Amidst the ongoing discord between the Labour Party and the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), Daniel Bwala, a former spokesman of the defunct Atiku-Okowa Presidential Campaign Council, has claimed that Peter Obi is considering leaving the party to collaborate with former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, in the Social Democratic Party (SDP)…..READ ALSO 7000 Nigerians Kidnapped In 1 Year, We Are One Of The Most Hungry Nations In The World – Peter Obi Laments

Bwala made this assertion in a post on his official X account on Friday, linking the latest development to the current dispute within the Labour Party.

Earlier reports from Naija News highlighted the rift between the Labour Party and the country’s labour union, sparked by calls for the removal of the party’s national chairman, Julius Abure.

Commenting on the discord, Bwala suggested that Obi might align with El-Rufai in the SDP as the Labour Party intensifies efforts to oust the Abure-led national leadership.

He wrote, “BREAKING – 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.”
