Bwala Says Nigeria Dodged a Bullet with Peter Obi’s 2023 Loss
In a recent post on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), political commentator Bwala criticized former Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate Peter Obi’s recent public address. Bwala expressed concern over Obi’s delivery, stating it lacked factual substance and logical coherence, likening it to “a tinkling cymbal or a sounding brass.”
Bwala further remarked that Obi appears to have not moved past the disappointment of the 2023 presidential election defeat. He suggested that Obi’s current stance might be influenced by his perceived role in the opposition’s dynamics leading up to the 2027 elections.
Reflecting on Obi’s 2023 electoral journey, several factors have been identified as contributing to his loss. These include challenges in forming strategic alliances, particularly with northern political figures, and debates over his performance during his tenure as Anambra State Governor. Additionally, internal party disputes, such as allegations of financial mismanagement within the LP, have surfaced.
In the aftermath of the election, Obi’s campaign reportedly allocated substantial funds toward legal challenges against the election results. Aisha Yesufu, chair of the fundraising team, disclosed that approximately ₦744.5 million was spent on litigation, with total campaign income and expenses both nearing ₦1.4 billion.
An update has been shared on the burnt building at Balogun Market on Lagos Island, as it was revealed that a man was rescued 11 days after the building caught fire.
According to reports, the man was found alive on January 6, 2026, after being discovered under the rubble of the collapsed structure.
The survivor has since been taken for proper medical care, while further details are yet to be released.
Meanwhile, passersby and market traders have expressed concern, fearing that more people may still be trapped alive inside the building.
It has been reported that Anthony Joshua has officially been discharged from the hospital following the terrible car crash that claimed the lives of his two closest friends and supporters.
The boxing star was deemed stable enough to go home after the accident. After his discharge, he visited the funeral to pay his respects and see the bodies of his two friends.
Many have expressed grief and offered their support to the boxing star, praying that he will be able to find peace, as grief will undoubtedly be one of the most painful challenges he will face in life.
It has been shared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is calling on the federal government to suspend the tax law set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
This was revealed in a statement released by Ini Ememobong, National Publicity Secretary of the PDP. He stated that this new law shows how Nigerians and the masses will be affected, arguing that the government is prioritizing finance over security and other pressing matters.
“Rather than address these issues comprehensively, the Presidency has consciously minimized them and instead insisted that the commencement date must stand, despite the discrepancies,” the party said, adding that this “clearly shows where the priority of the government lies between Nigerians and money.”
