Peter Obi, former Labour Party presidential candidate
The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, has declared that Peter Obi will not get the presidential ticket of the Labour Party (LP), African Democratic Congress (ADC), or the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the 2027 election.
Bwala, who appeared on Channels Television’s ‘Politics Today’ on Wednesday, stated that Obi may not only lose in the race for the presidency but also not emerge as a running mate.
According to Bwala, Obi has lost over 50 per cent of his votes because they were not built on politics and agenda but on rhetoric and division.
“I tell you, he is not going to get a ticket in any of the parties; that is Peter Obi.
“Now, the problem is that he may not even get the vice presidential ticket from the way things are going.
“But whether Peter Obi is a ticket bearer of the party, Peter Obi has lost more than 50 per cent of his votes. Because they were not votes that were built on agenda and politics.
“They were built on rhetoric and division, and Nigerian people’s eyes are open,” Bwala said. (Daily Sun)
