- He said Tinubu did not offer him any form of appointment and he was not supporting the Tinubu’s administration because he wanted an appointment.
Daniel Bwala, spokesperson for the Atiku Abubakar campaign in 2023, says his principal was privy to his meeting with President Bola Tinubu.
He said Tinubu did not offer him any form of appointment and he was not supporting the Tinubu’s administration because he wanted an appointment.
Bwala made the disclosure in an interview on Channels Television on Sunday.
Last Wednesday, Bwala visited Tinubu at the presidential villa in Abuja. His meeting with the president elicited scathing criticism with many saying his action further reinforced the notion that majority of Nigerians politicians are not driven by ideologies or altruism but pecuniary gains.
However, speaking shortly after the visit, Bwala, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), said he was committed to supporting Tinubu’s administration to succeed.
Bwala said if supporting the president would take him back to the All Progressives Congress (APC), “so be it”.
In the buildup to the 2023 elections, Bwala dumped the APC to join the PDP.
Speaking during the interview, Bwala said people were unfair to Tinubu
The lawyer said he would “appreciate” an offer of appointment that contributes to the agenda of the president.
“People are even unfair to President Bola Tinubu; to be honest, he has never promised anything,” he said.
“If the president makes an offer of a position that I see will contribute to the development of his agenda, I would more than anything else appreciate it.
“But it is not the appointment that I am looking for to support him. President Bola Tinubu has not promised me anything.”
