The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, has claimed that the Labour Party (LP) 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has been relegated to a secondary role and now finds himself contending for the vice-presidential ticket with former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi.
Naija News reports that Bwala made the remarks while responding to questions on Politics Today, a programme on Channels Television.
According to the presidential spokesperson, Peter Obi has effectively conceded his presidential ambition to former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, who agreed to serve for a single term and hand over to him.
Bwala further stated that Peter Obi has been positioned to assume the role of Director-General of the campaign to lead the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
He said, “Peter Obi now is a non-issue. He’s a non starter. Already, he has conceded his presidential ambition to Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.
“Now he has become a second fiddle but he needs to fight for the vice presidential ticket with Rotimi Amaechi. And from what we are hearing they have convinced him that he will be Director General of the campaign to lead the movement, and that when they win election, Atiku will do one time and then Peter Obi will come back to become president.”
Atiku, Peter Obi, and Amaechi are all affiliated with the recently launched coalition platform, ADC.
