Obi Is A Failed Politician, Lacks Democratic Credentials, Says Tinubu’s Aide Bwala

Special Adviser to President Tinubu on Media and Policy, Daniel Bwala, has described the Labour Party’s (LP) presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections, Mr Peter Obi as a failed politician.

Bwala, via a post on his X (formerly Twitter) handle on Tuesday, claimed that the former Anambra State governor lacked knowledge of the true meaning of democracy.

LEADERSHIP recalls that Obi, who spoke at the 60th birthday colloquium for former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Emeka Ihedioha, in Abuja on Monday, stated that the progress made since Nigeria’s return to civilian rule in 1999 had been eroded.

Obi added that democracy in Nigeria had long collapsed.

Reacting to Obi’s statement, Bwala held that Obi lacked a history of democratic activism from his school days to the present.

“It is funny how failed politicians are trying to redefine democracy. @PeterObi said democracy has collapsed. Does he even know the meaning of democracy?

“When people were fighting for democracy, Gregory was buying and selling.

“He doesn’t have a history of any democratic activism from his school days to date.

“His expertise lies in instigating hate speech and vitriol.

“Talk is cheap,” Bwala said.
