According to reports Yunsa Tanko, who used to lead Peter Obi's support group, has parted ways with Peter Obi political party to join rival party.
SDP Chairman Prof. Abubakar Sadiq Gombe named him coordinator of the party's presidential campaign council on Wednesday.
Tanko played a key role in Obi's 2023 campaign and will now lead efforts to support SDP presidential candidate Prince Adewole Adebayo's bid to unseat President Bola Tinubu in 2027.
Gombe asked council members to take their roles seriously, saying the party must treat the election with the seriousness needed to remove Tinubu from office.
