If Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, a former governor of Lagos State and a national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), is denied the party’s presidential ticket, there are indications that he may defect to the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
This comes as allegations surfaced that Peter Obi, the former governor of Anambra, is planning to establish a South-East coalition with other disgruntled PDP lawmakers (PDP).
According to reports, Peter Obi has met with Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the leader of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP).

A source close to Kwankwaso, who was reacting to speculations that Obi had joined the NNPP after leaving the PDP, said, “It is not official, but that rumour is going on. I’m not sure if he (Obi) has reached out to us. You know his resignation was just today (Wednesday). But I know they have been discussing it with Kwankwaso even before now.
“What might happen is that the politics of 2023 might turn to regional politics. The NNPP is already strong in the North. There is a possibility that Ike Ekweremadu, Enyinnaya Abaribe and Peter Obi might form an alliance under another party in the South East.
“If Asiwaju Bola Tinubu doesn’t get the APC ticket, he might also go back to South-West with the Social Democratic Party. So, these three parties might become the big parties representing the regions in 2023.”
