Atiku Media Office gives description of Bwala as a political turncoat
The Atiku Media Office has slammed presidential spokesperson, Daniel Bwala, for saying former Vice President Atiku Abubakar may not be destined to be Nigeria’s president.
Bwala made the statement during a recent interview on TVC.
Reacting, Atiku Media Office described Bwala as a political turncoat, nothing that he was once served as spokesperson for Atiku’s 2023 presidential campaign.
The organisation lambasted the presidential spokesperson for trying to lecture a statesman of global standing on matters of legacy, destiny, and retirement.
The organisation said, “His sanctimonious pontificating, laced with bitterness and duplicity, betrays a desperate effort to curry favour with a floundering administration clearly shaken by the unstoppable momentum of the national coalition being galvanized by Atiku and other progressive leaders.”
The organisation clarified that Atiku neither seeks nor requires validation from political opportunists who shed principles as easily as they change parties.
They said Bwala’s current relevance, if any, is owed entirely to the platform he once occupied under Atiku’s leadership, adding that it is a fact that should breed humility, not arrogance.
“The Tinubu camp’s obsession with Atiku’s political future is no coincidence. If, as they claim, Atiku is a spent force, why the relentless smear campaign? Why the strategic allocation of presidential platforms to attack him? The answer is plain: Atiku Abubakar remains the single most formidable opposition figure in Nigeria, and the coalition he is forging represents a clear and present danger to the decaying edifice of the ruling party,” the organisation said.
They said the broad-based alliance, aimed at reclaiming Nigeria from economic collapse, institutional failure, and democratic erosion, has clearly rattled the ruling elite.
“No amount of historical revisionism or sanctimony can obscure the fact that Atiku has been a central pillar in Nigeria’s democratic journey since 1999, championing reform, restructuring, and electoral integrity when others chose complicity.
“Legacy is not defined by the trappings of office but by courage, consistency, and conviction. Atiku Abubakar’s legacy — as a unifier, builder, and patriot — is deeply etched in the consciousness of millions of Nigerians. It is impervious to the revisionist bile of yesterday’s defectors turned today’s defenders of dysfunction.
“We reaffirm, unequivocally, that the Waziri Adamawa remains focused and unshaken in his commitment to Nigeria’s future. He will not be distracted by political jesters masquerading as patriots. The rescue and rebuilding of Nigeria is a task of urgent national importance — far too important to be derailed by the petty ego trips of desperate presidential aides,” the organisation said.
