Segun Sowunmi, another former spokesperson of the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2023 presidential poll, Atiku Abubakar, has given a hint of his possible defection to the All Progressives Congress.
He spoke during a Twitter Space, with the theme: “PDP leadership and role of opposition in democracy,” on Friday.
The Eagle Online recalls the spokesman of Atiku Presidential Campaign Council, Daniel Bwala, had after a meeting with President Bola Tinubu earlier in the week given a hint of his possible defection to the APC.
Sowunmi, a governorship aspirant in Ogun State in the last elections, said on the Twitter Space that the failure of the PDP to reform the party will account for his defection.
He said former President Goodluck Jonathan was one of those that broke the PDP and has abandoned it.
He said: “Am I going to criticise President Bola Tinubu more than the one I have been criticising him?
“Am I going to fight him more than the one I have been fighting him?
“I have known this man since 1993 by name and by voice.
“And yet, on behalf of this party and for the benefit of this party, I am closing my eyes to everything.
“The person that was president in 1999, is he still a member of their party today?

“The one that said he didn’t have shoes – Jonathan – that we gave him presidency two times.
“Because of Jonathan, we became a party that everybody was abusing.
“He is not still standing with the party today.
“I am still here standing and shouting.
“If they don’t want us to reform the party, please o, Bwala o, Bwala, Bwala, Bwala, keep space for me, I am coming.”
