A former spokesman of the defunct Atiku-Okowa Presidential Campaign Council, Daniel Bwala, has alleged that the 2023 Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, is plotting to unite with former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai in the Social Democratic Party, SDP.<\/p>\n

Bwala claimed Obi\u2019s move followed the decision of the Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC, to take over the LP from Julius Abure\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n

Posting on X, Bwala said the coalition can\u2019t give President Bola Tinubu sleepless nights ahead of the 2027 presidential elections.<\/p>\n

He wrote: \u201cBREAKING-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 the court that states that Nigeria Labour Congress owns Labour Party. NLC is now prepared to take custody of that party.<\/p>\n

\u201cTwist and turns in the coming days. But all that will not give sleepless nights to @officialABAT who himself has his magic wands to wield.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is coming when El-Rufai had visited the headquarters of the SDP in Abuja.<\/p>\n

El-Rufai paid a consultation visit to the SDP National Chairman, Alhaji Shehu Musa Gabam.<\/p>\n

According to the source, Alhaji Shehu Musa Gabam, described El-Rufa\u2019i as a friend with high political pedigree and added that Nigeria needed transformational leaders like him.<\/p>\n

The All Progressives Congress, APC, chieftain was received by the members of the party\u2019s National Working Committee, NWC.<\/p>\n
