Daniel Bwala, President Bola Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Policy Communication, on Wednesday said former Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate Peter Obi has not recovered from his painful defeat in 2023.
This comes after Peter Obi’s statement in an interview about the current government. Bwala reacted to Obi’s latest interview, where he criticized Tinubu’s administration.
He alleged that the former presidential candidate is struggling to counter the opposition but fell short in delivery.
He took to his X and wrote: Bwala said Nigeria dodged a bullet by not electing Obi.
He wrote: “As I listen to @PeterObi this evening struggling to play the opposition (oppose the government) I can’t but shudder at his abysmal delivery.
“He was speaking devoid of facts, logical analysis and almost sounded like a tinkling cymbal or a sounding brass.
“Mr Gregory has still not recovered from the painful defeat of the 2023 polls. But I can understand his confusion because as it stands today, he seem deserted in the banana republic of fantasy, wondering how he will convince his followers about his agreement to play a second fiddle in the 2027 wild goose chase of the opposition Nigeria dodged a bullet.”
Peter Obi had ridiculed Tinubu over the current hardship in Nigeria.
Peter Obi said Tinubu is doing what he promised Nigerians during his electioneering campaign which was to continue where former president Muhammadu Buhari stopped.
The former Anambra State governor recalled that the exchange rate increased from N400 to N1,500 per dollar under Tinubu.
Obi, however, stated that a capable leader can shift the momentum around for Nigerians.

According to Obi: “He (Tinubu) is doing well because what he promised people is exactly what he is doing; that he would start and continue from where the previous government stopped.
“Someone who met the dollar at 300 to 400, and now it is 1,500, he has done fantastic.
“When you talk about improvement, they are no things you say; they are things people feel, they are things people see.
“I have listened to people say jobs are being created—where are the jobs? It’s not the question of saying, ‘Oh, the investors are coming back’; where are they investing?
“What is happening can be turned around with a competent leader who has the capacity and compassion to serve. I would make sure to address Nigerians at least once every month.”
