Daniel Bwala mocks Peter Obi over 2023 election defeat

Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser to the President on Policy Communication, has taken a swipe at Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s candidate in the 2023 presidential election, claiming he has yet to recover from his defeat.

In a post on his X page on Wednesday, Bwala criticized Obi’s recent remarks about President Bola Tinubu’s administration, describing them as lacking in facts and logical analysis.

His comments were in response to Obi’s interview on Arise TV, where the former Anambra governor made several sarcastic remarks while assessing the government’s performance.

Bwala went further to state that Nigeria “dodged a bullet” by not electing Obi as president, adding fuel to the ongoing political debate surrounding the 2023 election and its aftermath.

“As I listen to Peter Obi this evening struggling to play the opposition (oppose the government), I can’t help but shudder at his abysmal delivery.

“He was speaking devoid of facts, logical analysis, and almost sounded like a tinkling cymbal or a sounding brass.

“Mr Gregory has still not recovered from the painful defeat of the 2023 polls.

“But I can understand his confusion because as it stands today, he seems deserted in the banana republic of fantasy, wondering how he will convince his followers about his agreement to play second fiddle in the 2027 wild goose chase of the opposition. Nigeria dodged a bullet.”
