Former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar’s spokesperson, Segun Sowunmi, has revealed that he intends to join the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He implored Daniel Bwala, a fellow former Atiku campaign spokesman, to make room in the APC for him since he may leave the PDP.
Following a visit to the Presidential Villa, Bwala pledged his support for President Bola Tinubu.
The opposition of PDP members to restructure the party served as the foundation for Sowunmi’s suggested defection to the APC.
Speaking on a Twitter space with the topic: ‘PDP leadership and role of opposition in democracy’, he said: ”Am I going to criticise President Bola Tinubu more than the one I have been criticising him? Am I going to fight him more than the one I have been fighting him?
”I have known this man since 1993 by name and by voice. And yet, on behalf of this party and for the benefit of this party, I am closing my eyes to everything.
”The person that was president in 1999, is he still a member of their party today? The one that said he didn’t have shoes – Jonathan – that we gave him presidency two times.
”Because of Jonathan, we became a party that everybody was abusing. He is not still standing with the party today.
”I am still here standing and shouting. If they don’t want us to reform the party, please o, Bwala o Bwala, Bwala, Bwala, keep space for me, I am coming.”
