Peter Obi and other members of the growing opposition alliance have come under heavy fire from Daniel Bwala, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Policy Communication…..CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
According to Bwala, they were too quick to highlight issues while ignoring the accomplishments of the Tinubu administration. In a statement published on his verified X (formerly Twitter) account, Bwala expressed his ire at the behaviour of those who, he claims, are deliberately ignoring the government’s accomplishments. He claims that while these individuals are quick to disseminate unfavourable information about Nigeria on social media, they remain silent whenever positive events occur there. His comments were prompted by the recent arrest of two terrorist leaders, a significant national security achievement for Nigeria.
Bwala claims that rather than recognising the government’s efforts, opposition leaders like Peter Obi exploited the occasion to disparage or discredit the news. Bwala asserts that “checking their social media handles” is one method of identifying a company that is engaging in “wild goose chase,” which is detrimental to Nigeria.

Some praised the government’s attempts to fight instability and agreed with Bwala, while others claimed he was unfairly singled out the opposition and politicised a national security issue.
