Abuja, FCT – Daniel Bwala, a former spokesman for the Atiku Abubakar campaign organisation in the 2023 presidential election, has announced his departure from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and is expected to join the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
In an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday, July 11, Bwala confirmed his exit from the PDP.
When asked about his potential membership in the APC, Bwala replied, “I am very close” to joining the party.
Bwala left the APC for the PDP in the buildup to the 2023 elections in protest against the ruling party’s Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket.
Though he previously served as a spokesman for the Atiku campaign organisation, he has been a vocal supporter of President Bola Tinubu’s policies since the election.
