The spokesperson for presidential policy communication, Daniel Bwala, has criticized former presidential candidate Peter Obi following a thoughtful message that Obi posted after he went to a church service.
In a detailed message, Obi discussed the emotional and mental struggles he experiences, labeling Nigeria’s political climate as “toxic” and filled with stress, misunderstandings, and hostility. He clarified that his choice to depart from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) was not based on personal conflicts with party leaders like David Mark and Atiku Abubakar, but instead stemmed from deeper systemic problems and ongoing crises within political parties.
“I got up this morning after my church service with a heart full of reflection… Many individuals do not really grasp the silent suffering some of us bear every day,” Obi expressed, noting that his political path has been influenced by a dedication to service, kindness, and integrity.
He emphasized that he is not eager for political power but is motivated by a wish to see progress in security, economic stability, and governance in Nigeria.
In response to Obi’s statement, Bwala ridiculed his comments, highlighting his initial claim about going to church.
“Peter Obi is the first politician in Nigeria’s history to go to church service while asleep and woke up afterward with pains,” Bwala sarcastically remarked, making further sarcastic comments regarding Obi’s presidential goals.
This exchange has sparked considerable reactions on social media, with Obi’s supporters defending his words as genuine and reflective, while critics associated with Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s government dismissed it as mere political drama.
