Presidential spokesperson, Daniel Bwala, has called out the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in 2023, Peter Obi, over his recent criticism of the Bola Tinubu administration.
Bwala, the Special Adviser on Policy Communication to President Bola Tinubu, suggested that Peter Obi should have no position on issues of June 12, 1993, since, according to him, the former Anambra State governor was in Asia buying and selling and has no record of participating in the struggle.
Obi during the Democracy Day celebration called on Tinubu to follow the footsteps of former presidents Umaru Yar’Adua and Goodluck Jonathan.
Obi told the President to emulate ex-President Yar’Adua in accepting that the process through which he came to power was wrong.
He also said the president should be like Jonathan who saved Nigeria’s democracy by accepting defeat.
Peter Obi and his camp have always insisted that the 2023 presidential election was marred by irregularities and its results should not have stood.
Obi also said that there is no democracy under the administration of Bola Tinubu.
In a post on X on Friday evening, Bwala felt that the former governor should not comment on issues of democratic struggle in Nigeria.
He wrote, “Please can someone confirm to me whether it is true that on June 12, 1993 and weeks after that @PeterObi Peter Gregory Obi was in Malaysia or somewhere in Asia doing buying and selling trading business?
“I searched the internet to see any of his involvement in the struggle for democracy, I couldn’t see any link ohh.”
