Daniel Bwala, spokesperson of the Atiku Abubakar presidential campaign, says the Labour Party (LP) has more promise than the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2023 elections.

Speaking during an interview on Sunrise Daily, a Channels Television programme, on Monday, Bwala said the 2023 election is a referendum on the APC.

He said the ruling party is disorganised, adding that the likes of Yemi Osinbajo, the vice-president, Rotimi Amaechi, former minister of transportation, and Ahmad Lawan, the senate president, have been ostracised by  Bola Tinubu, the presidential flag bearer of the APC.

“The Labour Party has more promise than APC in this election. It is a referendum,” he said.

“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 2 point something million votes, you can imagine now that they are fragmented. 

“Where the candidate of the party 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.”

In July, Bwala, a legal practitioner, resigned his membership of the APC on the basis of his “principles and conviction”, in response to the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the ruling party.

He was subsequently appointed alongside Dino Melaye, a former senator, as the spokesperson for the PDP campaign organisation.
