Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has responded strongly to comments made by Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Policy Communication, dismissing him as a “political opportunist” who offers no credible validation.
Bwala, who previously served as Atiku’s spokesperson during the 2023 presidential campaign, had advised the PDP leader to accept that the Nigerian presidency “may not be part of his destiny,” citing divine will in a recent interview.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, Atiku’s media office described Bwala’s remarks as “sanctimonious pontificating laced with bitterness and duplicity,” accusing him of hypocrisy and betrayal. The statement also noted that Bwala’s political relevance was tied to the platform provided by Atiku, and urged humility on his part.
The media team further alleged that the Tinubu administration remains fixated on Atiku, suggesting that repeated attacks point to fears over his continuing political influence.
