Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Policy Communication, has accused the African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition of attempting to intimidate Nigerians ahead of the 2027 elections.
In a post shared on X, Bwala criticized the coalition, alleging it lacks a clear vision and is relying on blackmail tactics.
“Desperate people do desperate things. Ordinarily their coalition should bring hope and excitement, but because they have no clear vision and alternative for Nigeria, nobody reckons with them,” he wrote.
He further accused the group of spreading misinformation and failing to build genuine momentum.
“You would think with @PeterObi bringing in fake news CSO, fake TV anchors, fake movement of irrational and double standards Obidient they would create momentum, but anything fake hardly last,” he added.
Bwala also claimed the coalition was portraying Nigeria negatively to the international community in an attempt to influence voters.
“They have now resorted to blackmailing Nigeria and the Nigerian people in the eyes of the international community; anticipating hard and harsh treatment that would affect the lives and economy of ordinary Nigerians, so that Nigerians would be intimidated into voting them; that’s political banditry,” he said.
He questioned the legitimacy of the coalition, suggesting that a group accused of forcefully taking over a political party cannot build a credible opposition.
“But wait, can a people who invade a political party in a gestapo manner, take over the party structures by force and abduct the party, actually build opposition?”
