The camp of the former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has mocked Daniel Bwala, the special adviser to President Bola Tinubu on media and policy communication, saying that his recent political posturing is a “opportunistic merchandising of allegiance.” In a statement sent to Legit.ng on Saturday, March 7, signed by Phrank Shaibu, the senior special assistant on public communication to Atiku, the camp claimed that the presidential aide had earlier approached the camp and requested the manufacture of a false narrative against the Tinubu administration.

The presidential aide described the exchange as an intellectual bravery, but the ex-VP camp said that the interview exposed the "moral bankruptcy" because he dismissed grave national issues, tagging them as politics. Shaibu criticised the defence of the legal practitioner about the record of the government on insecurity, alleging that he was trivialising the loss of Nigerian lives in the past two years, saying such is “nothing short of wickedness.” See the full statement on X here: Source: Legit.ng
