Segun Sowunmi, a former spokesperson for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has alluded to the possibility of switching allegiance to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
This came during a discussion on a Twitter space focused on the theme “PDP leadership and the role of opposition in democracy” on Friday.
While conversing with fellow ex-Atiku campaign spokesman, Daniel Bwala, Sowunmi suggested that a space be reserved for him in the APC, indicating his contemplation of leaving the PDP.
The basis for Sowunmi’s potential move to the APC lies in his dissatisfaction with the PDP members’ resistance to reform the party.
Showunmi 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.”
