The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, has criticised former presidential candidate, Peter Obi, over his frequent movement across political parties.
Speaking during a podcast with Nedu Wazobia, Bwala recalled that Obi once vowed never to leave the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), only to later join the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) before moving again to the Labour Party (LP).
“**99.9 percent of the political actors in Nigeria today have changed parties three times minimum. My father will say, beat them first before you ask them questions.
Peter Obi was in APGA and he said he was never going to leave APGA, that his family will die. Peter left for PDP, he left PDP to Labour. When he moved to Labour, he called the PDP a structure of criminality. Peter Obi’s interest has nothing to do with the interest of the people**,” Bwala said.
The presidential aide also downplayed Obi’s record of donations, alleging that the former Anambra governor has never given more than ₦50 million, and even that, under questionable circumstances.
“He came to the Northwest and Northcentral that time after the election and places where they didn’t have water, you know the kind of borehole Peter Obi gave them money to produce — café man days borehole, where somebody will climb and be bouncing to pump water,” Bwala alleged.
Bwala’s comments come amid renewed political realignments ahead of the 2027 general elections.
