In a surprising turn of events, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain Daniel Bwala has pledged unequivocal support for the administration of former Lagos State governor, Bola Tinubu.
In an exclusive meeting at the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja, Bwala declared, “I am committing to play my part to support your administration, and I have no apologies to anybody.”
Known for his criticism of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Tinubu, Bwala asserted, “President Bola Tinubu is my motivation; if supporting him will take me to APC, so be it.” This proclamation comes as a shock considering Bwala’s role as the spokesperson for Alhaji Atiku Abubakar during the 2023 Presidential campaign.
Bwala, foreseeing the political landscape, emphasized the necessity for opposition parties to form a robust coalition to challenge the ruling APC in the 2027 general elections. He asserted, “Without a coalition of political parties, Tinubu is going to spend the next eight years. That one is for sure.”
Commending Tinubu’s recent actions, including the suspension of the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Dr. Betta Edu, Bwala highlighted the President’s commitment to governance reforms. “Some of his Ministers that were allegedly reported to have committed infractions, instead of protecting them, he asked that the law should have its course and suspended somebody without wasting time,” he remarked.
