Thursday, January 8, 2026 - Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, has likened former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, as Premier League football players that change club every season.
Speaking during an interview on The Clarity Zone Podcast,
Bwala described Obi as political opportunist and actor.
He said that Obi has an army of soldiers on social media,
who attack people everyday for changing party but do not see anything wrong
when their master or hero defected from one party to another.
“Of all the political gladiators in Nigeria, the one who is
an actor is Peter Obi. Let me give you a good example. After the 2023 election,
he lost everybody he was leading.
“He had House of Representatives and Senators. How many of
them are in the National Assembly at the moment? The only governor he had, is
the governor with him or with us?
“Taking it down to state, in fact, I have not seen anyone
that identifies with him at the moment . All the candidates he had gone across
Nigeria supporting, failed.
“He claims to be building a movement. A movement means you
are departing from the norm. That means these people can do anything for you
but will just realize after a while that oh this is not actually someone with
the intention to govern Nigeria.
“Obi is just like Premier League football players that
change club every season. He moved from APGA to PDP, then to Labour Party, and
now, he is in ADC,” Bwala said.
