A spokesperson of the 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Daniel Bwala, has alleged that President Bola Tinubu is controlling the PDP and Labour Party through proxies.
Bwala made this known while speaking to The Punch.
He explained that the country is currently operating a one-party state, adding that the only way to move forward is for the oppositions to come together and form a formidable front.
The PDP chieftain lamented that Tinubu is determined to keep the opposition in disarray till 2027.
He said, “The truth is both the PDP and Labour Party are controlled by President Bola Tinubu through proxies, Nigeria is a one-party state. Let me explain to you, you may have noticed in the build-up to the election, like immediately after the elections in all these major political parties, I am sure you read about, this one has gone to court and the court has sacked the national chairman of that party.
“This one is going to court, this one is about to go to court. They have sacked the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party. Then in PDP, you have one of the individuals who is a cabinet member in this administration that held the party by the balls as we speak today.
“However, for the PDP probably there will be a forensic analysis of the party, there will be soul searching, and there will probably be a conference, in which the party will now take a position to form a formidable opposition moving forward. The hope that I have, I see, and very predictably LP, PDP NNPP, and other fringe political parties, are going to come together, reinvent themselves, and post the opposition for the governing party.”
