2027: Peter Obi Plotting to Unite With El-rufai in SDP – Daniel Bwala
POLITICS DIGEST – 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), ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Bwala made the claims on his official X account on Friday.
He said Obi’s move to join the SDP was as a result of the crisis currently rocking the LP and the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC).
In the post, Bwala suggested that Obi and El-Rufai would join forces in the SDP to try and unseat President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.

“BREAKING-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,” Bwala wrote.
“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”
In another thread, he said; “Twist and turns in the coming days. But all that will not give sleepless nights to @officialABAT who himself has his magic wands to wield.”
Bwala’s claims may not be unconnected with El-Rufai’s recent visit to the National Chairman of the SDP, Alhaji Shehu Musa Gabam, at the party’s headquarters in Abuja, where they had a closed door meeting with members of the party’s National Working Committee.
