“Atiku Might Support Tinubu Soon as PDP Keeps Losing Members” — Bwala Says
President Bola Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Policy Communications, Daniel Bwala, has suggested that Atiku Abubakar, the former presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), might soon throw his weight behind Tinubu’s administration.
Speaking on TVC’s Journalists Hangout, Bwala addressed the wave of defections hitting the PDP. He criticized the party for lacking clear leadership and direction, saying no right-thinking person would choose to remain in a party that seems lost and disorganized.
Bwala explained that the responsibility to prevent Nigeria from becoming a one-party state lies with the opposition, not the ruling party. According to him, the APC has every right to expand its base and attract more people. If opposition parties fail to present strong alternatives, they shouldn’t blame others for their internal problems.
He likened the current situation to people naturally moving towards a better environment. “If your house is in shambles, don’t blame your neighbor for having a well-kept one,” he said. He noted that even governors protected by the constitution are defecting because aligning with the federal government puts them in a better position to serve their people effectively.
Bwala also pointed out that Tinubu deserves more credit for his inclusive style of leadership. He mentioned that Tinubu is not limiting his governance to just members of his party but is engaging people across the board, regardless of political affiliation.
Wrapping up, Bwala didn’t mince words. He claimed joining the PDP now would be like putting your mental health at risk. “What we’re focused on is governance,” he added, hinting again that Atiku supporting Tinubu might not be far-fetched after all.
First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has shared that she has forgiven those who betrayed her husband during the 2023 general elections.
She revealed this as she marked a new age, reflecting on what the future holds. She emphasized that she holds no grudge against anyone.
“I do not have anything against anyone. The question is how I stopped feeling the betrayal? I knew the grace factor was evident, and the Holy Spirit continually comforted me. I chose never to avenge myself, understanding that it is God’s prerogative. Mine is to thank Him for fighting for us. If God decides to fight your battles and you have won, is there anything else that God missed and you wanted to fix? Nothing. So, let it go.”
Paul Ibe, spokesperson to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of laying the groundwork to manipulate the 2027 general elections.
Speaking during a YouTube interview, Ibe alleged that the ruling party, led by President Bola Tinubu, has run out of achievements to show after more than two years in office. This has resorted to silencing opposition voices and critical institutions.
According to him, APC is working to weaken independent media, civil society groups, and political opponents. They insists that the clampdown is part of a wider strategy to retain power.
“They have nothing to offer after two years of holding on to the mandate,” Ibe said. “The only way left for them is to start preparing to rig, and the process is already in motion.”
Additionally, he went on to describe Nigeria’s current political climate as a drift into dictatorship, recalling the heavy price paid by activists who fought for democracy in the past.
“The democracy we’ve had since 1999 came at a huge sacrifice. Many lives were lost in the struggle,” he said. “Those heroes would be turning in their graves to see what is happening now. People like Sowore are being harassed and intimidated, and that shows where we are heading.”
Nigerian singer, Charly Boy, has spoken on the resumption of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan as she resumed her duties in the National Assembly after her suspension.
The singer took to social media to show his support for the senator, praising her while warning others, including Akpabio, that she is not someone to be easily dealt with.
He wrote “Una don hear say Senator Natasha don enter National Assembly? You can’t mess with an Alpha woman like that. It seems like they have exhausted their lies; the only available option is to unseal or face international sanctions. Akpabio, be careful next time, no be all women be ntanta.”
