Atiku’s ex-aide, Bwala attacks Peter Obi, says he’s “Twitter President”

Daniel Bwala, a former spokesman for the Atiku-Okowa 2023 presidential campaign, has referred to Peter Obi, the former presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), as the “Twitter president.”

This statement has sparked discussions about Obi’s social media presence and its impact on his political image. 

Bwala said Obi likes to grandstand, adding that he loves to approbate and reprobate.

He was reacting to Obi’s reaction to the withdrawal of Nigeria’s senior men’s basketball team, D’Tigers from the International Basketball Federation, FIBA, Afrobasket 2025 Qualifiers due to lack of funds.

Obi had posted on X: “I read, with dismay, the reports of the withdrawal of Nigeria’s senior men’s national basketball team, D’Tigers, from the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) Afrobasket 2025 Qualifiers due to lack of funds.”

But, Bwala in a post reminded Obi of an old post where he said “We must stop this unproductive habit of throwing scarce and borrowed money at immediate problem….. ”

Bwala criticized the former Anambra State governor for alleged grandstanding.

Posting on X, Bwala wrote: “You just like to approbate and reprobate Pitobi. Didn’t you say the below? Nothing Dey sweet you like grandstanding. Twitter President.”
