The Special Adviser to the President on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, has stated that the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has yet to recover from the “painful defeat” he suffered in the last election.
In a post on his X page on Wednesday, Bwala criticized Obi’s remarks, describing them as lacking factual backing and logical analysis.
Bwala’s comments were in response to Obi’s interview with Arise TV on Tuesday, where the former governor made several sarcastic remarks while assessing President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
According to Bwala, Nigeria avoided a major mistake by not electing Obi as president in 2023.
“As I listen to Peter Obi this evening struggling to play the opposition (oppose the government), I can’t help 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 second fiddle in the 2027 wild goose chase of the opposition. Nigeria dodged a bullet,” Bwala wrote.
