The presidency has taken aim at Peter Obi, the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate, criticizing his performance in a recent interview. Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Media and Policy Communication, expressed disdain on Wednesday via his verified X handle.
Bwala’s comments followed Obi’s appearance on a podcast with Oseni Rufai on Tuesday, where Obi declined to share his strategies for addressing Nigeria’s poor electricity supply. Bwala questioned Obi’s capacity, stating that even with favorable questions, Obi failed to deliver effectively.
During the conversation, the former Anambra State governor mentioned that if elected, he would engage in dialogue with various agitators across the nation. However, his reluctance to provide specifics on key issues like power generation drew sharp criticism from the presidency.
