Presidency Hits Back: Peter Obi Still Grappling with 2023 Election Loss, Says Tinubu’s Aide
Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser on Policy Communication to President Bola Tinubu, has criticized former Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate Peter Obi, claiming he has not yet recovered from his defeat in the 2023 presidential election.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Bwala made this assertion on Wednesday while reacting to Obi’s recent interview, where the former candidate took aim at Tinubu’s administration. He accused Obi of struggling to effectively position himself as an opposition leader, describing his delivery as disappointing and lacking substance.
Taking to the social media platform X, Bwala expressed his disapproval, stating that Nigeria avoided a potential problem by not electing Obi. He wrote:
“As I listen to @PeterObi this evening struggling to play the opposition (oppose the government), I can’t but shudder at his abysmal delivery. He was speaking devoid of facts, logical analysis, and almost sounded like a tinkling cymbal or a sounding brass.
Mr. Gregory has still not recovered from the painful defeat of the 2023 polls. But I can understand his confusion because, as it stands today, he seems deserted in the banana republic of fantasy, wondering how he will convince his followers about his agreement to play a second fiddle in the 2027 wild goose chase of the opposition. Nigeria dodged a bullet.”
In his recent remarks, Obi criticized President Tinubu’s handling of the economy, citing the worsening exchange rate as an example. He pointed out that under Tinubu’s administration, the naira’s value plummeted from N400 to N1,500 per dollar.
Obi remarked that Tinubu is delivering on his campaign promise to continue where former President Muhammadu Buhari left off, but in a way that has exacerbated economic hardship. He argued that a competent leader with compassion could reverse the situation, vowing that if given the chance, he would address Nigerians at least once every month.
Obi questioned the claims of job creation and economic improvement, arguing that the supposed progress remains invisible to the ordinary citizen. He urged for leadership that genuinely transforms lives rather than merely making promises.
