Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Media and Policy Communication, has stated that Peter Obi, a chieftain of the ADC, will not become Nigeria’s president.
Speaking during an interview on News Central TV, Bwala questioned Obi’s leadership qualities and political structure.
“Peter Obi will never be president. He will never cross the central business district that will lead Aso Villa.
“Anybody that would be a president, there are characteristics that you will see.
“The person must be visionary, the person must be grassrooted, organic grassrooted, not manipulation, and the person must be sincere for whatever he is but won’t present a picture for what he is totally the opposite for who he is, Peter Obi will never be.”
Bwala further argued that the former Anambra governor lacks genuine grassroots support, claiming his popularity was built on narratives rather than organic political structures.
“Peter Obi does not have a grassroot, what Peter Obi did is that he went to the church with a narrative when Buhari was in government that the church is being disenfranchised and it’s time for the church to take back their country.
“That narrative is what he used in rallying support among pastors, bishops and that is not a grassroot support,” he added.
