Nomadic Politicians Will Always Play Second Fiddle” – Tinubu’s Aide, Bwala Fires Shot

President Bola Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, has taken a swipe at an unnamed “nomadic politician” following a defection from the Labour Party (LP) to the African Democratic Congress (ADC).....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

In a post shared on his account on Wednesday, Bwala described the ADC as a “structure of criminality” and suggested that the politician’s move was part of a pattern of serial defections.

According to the presidential aide, the politician’s continued movement across parties would ultimately relegate him to a secondary role within the ADC, such as serving as a campaign director-general.

He wrote:
“Nomadic politicians joining the structure of criminality.
The nomadic politician is continuing his wild goose chase by joining the structure of criminality.
PDP – APGA – PDP – Labour – ADC. The wandering spirit will still end up as a second fiddle or campaign DG.
That is the trajectory when your adviser is a madman.”

Bwala’s remarks followed the defection of former Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi, from the Labour Party to the ADC, ahead of his reported plans to seek the party’s presidential ticket in 2027.

Reacting separately, Obi recently dismissed Bwala’s comments, saying he had no time to respond to such characters.

Earlier, during an interview on Channels Television, Bwala had accused Obi of being “419,” claiming that there were no tangible achievements during his tenure as Anambra State governor. He alleged that Obi deposited state funds in a bank where he had interests, purportedly to earn personal profits through interest.

Bwala said Obi frequently cited savings recorded during his administration, but argued that when liabilities were taken into account, there was nothing substantial left, describing the claims as fraudulent.

In response, Obi countered the allegations during an appearance on the Clarity Zone podcast hosted by media personality Nedu. He stated that he left office without owing salaries, pensions, gratuities, or payments to contractors who had delivered services to the state.
