PDP's Struggles Not Attributable to Tinubu, According to Government Report
The Dish: Here's the lowdown on President Bola Tinubu's government's response to allegations tying them to the turmoil sweeping the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Our fave news source reports that Daniel Bwala, the President's Special Adviser on Policy Communication, speaks out on the matter. In an interview with AIT, Bwala calls out the PDP for their self-inflicted woes, flat out denying the government's involvement.
He points out that the PDP's troubles have been brewing long before Tinubu stepped into the seat of power. Bwala argues that the opposition party has been plagued with fragmentation, disjointedness, and disorganization since time immemorial, taking any hopes of excuses for the government straight out the window.
On the topic of opposition governors partnering with the federal government, Bwala highlights the importance of collaboration for the betterment of the nation. He expresses dismay that the opposition would seek to stymie cooperation, underscoring the priority of unity for the good of the country.
Bwala goes on to state that no coalition would stand a chance against Tinubu in 2027. He raises the question about the leadership skills of the opposition, contrasting them unfavorably with that of Tinubu.
The saga doesn't end there, as Bwala brings up the PDP's Governors Forum and National Working Committee's resistance to the party joining any coalition. He emphasizes that such coalitions would never come to fruition under these circumstances.
Bwala finishes off by slamming the PDP's inability to control their own party, expressing the sentiment that if they can't manage their own house, they certainly can't lead the nation. He also takes aim at Peter Obi for his futile attempts to sway the Senate, enforcing the notion that effective leadership involves being followed, not just making loud declarations.
