Former Atiku-Okowa presidential campaign council spokesman Daniel Bwala said that Peter Obi, the presidential candidate for the Labour Party (LP) in 2023, is being pursued by a ghost he had created.
Bwala was responding to the most recent threat from Obi to leave the LP prior to the general elections of 2027.
The former governor of Anambra State decided to quit the party if the problems could not be handled because he had promised “not to die” with it.
Lamidi Apapa and Julius Abure’s leadership dispute has been affecting LP.

In addition, the party is dealing with an ownership issue as a result of allegations made by the Nigeria Labour Congress, or NLC.
In response, Bwala claimed that Obi is stuck as the Social Democratic Party, which he wants to join, does not automatically provide a ticket for him.
Posting on X, Bwala wrote: “BREAKING NEWS: The presidential candidate of @NgLabour at the 2023 elections @PeterObi is hunted by a ghost that he created. Sensing the obvious in Labour Party to the effect that there is no automatic ticket, he has therefore threatened that if the party would not conform, he will leave
“The Social Democratic Party, which he hopes to use the platform when the need arises, doesn’t give automatic tickets. Peter Obi feared that he may likely not win delegate election because he is not a grassroot politician, he is presently in a quagmire.

“A former president is reported to be having it very difficult convincing nation’s statesmen to support the move because they prefer to give @officialABAT his due time to reform Nigeria.”
He added: “Peter Obi was reported as being advised immediately to start a campaign and woo the core northern Nigeria as well as the Muslim communities across the nation to disprove the notion that he uses identity politics.
“He has since commenced the exercise, but it is feared that the foreign media which packaged him in the last election consider him as too difficult to re-brand based on analytics on his chances.
“His base called the ‘Obedient’ people made it clear to him that they would not accept any merger that will extinguish his presidential bid. He is between the devil and deep blue sea.”
