Anytime Nigeria Is Making Progress, It Angers Peter Obi – Bwala Tackles NDC Presidential Candidate

Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser on Policy Communication and Media to President Bola Tinubu, has accused Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate Peter Obi of showing displeasure whenever Nigeria records progress under the current government.

Naija News reports that he made the remarks in a post shared on 𝕏.

The presidential aide said Obi often reacts negatively to developments in the country despite seeking to lead it in the future.

He questioned why positive changes in governance would lead to criticism from the former Anambra governor.

Bwala also claimed that Obi has changed positions on key national issues.

According to him, Obi had earlier expressed support for policies such as fuel subsidy removal, state policing, and a unified foreign exchange system before the 2023 elections, but now appears to oppose them after they were introduced by the current administration.

He wrote: “I don’t know why anytime Nigeria makes progress, it angers Peter Obi @PeterObi why? It is the same Nigeria he is seeking to govern in his wild goose chase. It may be right to say that the only person he listens to is the mad man in Opi-iweka road.

“Before 2023 elections, he said he will remove subsidy; we did and now he says he will not. He said he will create state police; we did, he is saying he will not. He said he will unify the foreign exchange; we did and now he is saying he will not. It seems he doesn’t even know what he plans for Nigeria.”
