Bwala: Peter Obi Still Reeling from 2023 Election Defeat

Daniel Bwala, the Special Adviser to the President on Policy Communication, has claimed that Peter Obi, the Labour Party candidate in the 2023 presidential election, has not yet recovered from his “painful defeat.”

In a post on his X page, Bwala criticized Obi’s recent remarks during an interview on Arise TV, saying they lacked facts and logical reasoning. He stated that Obi’s comments, made while criticizing President Bola Tinubu’s administration, were unfounded and nonsensical.

Bwala further added that Obi’s performance as an opposition figure was weak and unconvincing, suggesting that Nigeria had avoided a mistake by not electing him as president.

He also mentioned Obi’s apparent confusion regarding his future political prospects, particularly his possible participation in the 2027 election.
