Daniel Bwala, special adviser to President Bola Tinubu, claims Peter Obi will be denied both presidential and vice-presidential tickets in the African Democratic Congress (ADC). Bwala alleges Obi has abandoned his presidential ambition and is now eyeing the VP slot, but might not even get that.
Atiku Abubakar and Rotimi Amaechi are said to be more likely candidates for the VP ticket. Bwala predicts the ADC coalition will implode within six months due to internal rivalries and lack of ideological clarity.
Bwala further states that Obi’s influence has waned, losing about 50% of his 2023 election votes. His support base will dwindle if he accepts a VP role, Bwala claims
The ADC’s internal dynamics are expected to play out in the coming months. With multiple stakeholders vying for power, the party’s stability is uncertain.
Obi’s Labour Party has dismissed Bwala’s claims as baseless, saying they’re meant to undermine Obi’s chances. The party insists Obi remains a strong contender.
