Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser on Policy Communication to President Bola Tinubu, has urged former Anambra State governor and Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, to join the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Bwala also extended the same advice to Valentine Ozigbo, a former Labour Party chieftain who recently announced his resignation from the party.
Ozigbo stepped down from the Labour Party on Wednesday, describing his decision as a cause for celebration rather than uncertainty.
He explained that his departure was driven by his commitment to Anambra’s progress and prosperity.
“Recent events have made one thing clear: the time has come for us to build something new, something bold, something that speaks to the hopes and aspirations of every Anambra son and daughter.
“That is why, after deep reflection and broad consultations, I have chosen to take a different path, one that is not about party lines, but about our people.
“About progress. About a movement that will bring real transformation to our great state,” Ozigbo stated in his resignation letter.
Reacting via his 𝕏 handle, Bwala praised Ozigbo’s decision and encouraged him to align with the APC. He further called on Obi to follow suit.
“My brother and friend Mazi Valentine Ozigbo, I welcome your resignation from the Labour Party as a bold and progressive move.
“I also would like to kindly invite you to join our party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), the largest party in Africa.
“I want to also extend the invitation to Peter Obi to join us in moving Nigeria forward and renewing the hope of our people,” Bwala wrote.
