Special Adviser to the President on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, has descended on the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, accusing him of suffering from identity crisis.
He said, Obi operates like an opportunistic politician because he has failed to define his political identity.
Bwala in an interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo, a snippet of which was shared on X on Wednesday revealed this.
“He (Obi) has not defined his identity in politics, so he finds himself like an opportunistic politician,” Bwala said.
He also didn’t spare Atiku Abubakar as he said 2023 presidential candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar would have made a great president.
However, he expressed doubt that Atiku could have done a better job than President Bola Tinubu.
Recall that Bwala was a spokesman for the PDP presidential campaign in 2023 whose decision to accept a job with the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led presidency raised eyebrows.
“He (Atiku) would have been a great president.
“But whether he would have been greater than Asiwaju, I doubt it now,” Bwala said.
The presidential aide disclosed that President Tinubu encourages dissent.
He noted that despite serving in the presidency, he disagreed with the president’s decisions to remove fuel subsidy and float the naira.
“Till tomorrow morning, the president of Nigeria told me, ‘you’re free to object with any policy decision and disagree”, Bwala said.
