The Labour Party (LP), according to Daniel Bwala, a spokesman for Atiku Abubakar’s presidential campaign, has greater promise than the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2023 elections.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily programme on Monday, Bwala said “The Labour Party has more promise than APC in this election. It is a referendum,”
Bwala, a leader in the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), also alleged that Bola Tinubu, the APC presidential candidate, had shunned those who ran against him in the party’s mid-2022 primary, including Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and Senate President Ahmad Lawan.
In his words, “The PDP is the opposition party. In 2019, you saw how they came close. The point is when you add all their aspirants together with President Buhari, and yet they only were able to escape with two point something million votes, you can imagine now that they are fragmented.

“The candidate of the party (APC) is on a vendetta mission against those who ran against him in the primary. Where is Osinbajo today? Ostracised as if he’s an outcast. The referendum on APC is not on a standard set by others. It’s their own standard,”
Recall that Bwala resigned his membership of the APC in July in protest against the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the ruling party.
He joined the PDP and was appointed Atiku’s campaign spokesman, alongside Dino Melaye, Kola Ologbondiyan, and Charles Aniagwu.
