He said the church cannot be Obi’s structure because the church is not the structure of any political party.
“How he is patient enough to build that political party, he must know the national working committee in various states, he must know the candidates of the party, and he must be involved in building the structure of the party.
“The church cannot be his structure. That’s the point I’m saying.”
Bwala says Atiku will run for president again
Legit.ng earlier reported that Bwala said the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar would still contest the presidential seat in 2027.
Legit.ng reports that Atiku, 77, ran unsuccessfully for President of Nigeria six times, in 1993, 2007, 2011, 2015, 2019, and 2023.
The former spokesperson of the defunct Atiku's presidential campaign organisation made this known during an interview on Channels Television's Politics Today on Tuesday night, January 2.
Peter Obi speaks on Labour Party taking over from PDP
Obi positioned Labour Party as the main opposition party in Nigeria, a role the PDP has occupied since the victory of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2015.
In his New Year message, the former governor of Anambra state said his Labour Party will continue to adjust to the new role as the main opposition party in Nigeria.
According to Obi, the Labour Party will be firm in its role as the opposition and keep the ruling APC on its toes in the interest of Nigeria and her citizens.
