Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Policy, has described the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Mr Peter Obi, as a failed politician.
Bwala claimed that Obi does not even know the meaning of democracy.
The statement comes after the former governor claimed that democracy in Nigeria had collapsed.
While speaking at the 60th birthday colloquium for former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Emeka Ihedioha, in Abuja on Monday, Obi stated that the progress made since Nigeria’s return to civilian rule in 1999 had been eroded.
However, responding to Obi’s remarks, Bwala, in a post on his X handle on Tuesday, said that Obi doesn’t have a history of democratic activism from his school days to the present.
He said: “It is funny how failed politicians are trying to redefine democracy. @PeterObi said democracy has collapsed.
“Does he even know the meaning of democracy?
“When people were fighting for democracy, Gregory was buying and selling.
“He doesn’t have a history of any democratic activism from his school days to date.
“His expertise lies in instigating hate speech and vitriol.
“Talk is cheap.”
