Presidential spokesperson Daniel Bwala has accused Rufai Oseni of misrepresenting his statements and pushing what he described as “lies and blackmail” in a post on X on Tuesday.
Bwala’s reaction followed a segment on Arise News’ The
Morning Show, where Oseni, during the ‘What’s Trending’ segment, referenced
Bwala’s December 2023 comment that “even if you give APC 30 years, nothing will
work”. At the time, Bwala was serving as spokesperson for Atiku Abubakar.
Oseni during the TV show lamented about the rising
insecurity in the country and the poor attitude of the All Progressives
Congress, APC-led government in tackling the menace.
However, Bwala took to X and alleged that Oseni deliberately
distorted his remarks and accused the journalist of lacking neutrality.
The presidential spokesman described the Arise TV anchor in
strongly critical terms, claiming he was pushing a partisan narrative.
Bwala said: “This lier and Peter Obi propagandist is here
again spewing lies and quoting what I never said surreptitiously to push his
fake news agenda of blackmail and hate vitriol.
“The adult toddler has lost the moral ground to speak as a
neutral when everyone knows he is a Peter Obi unofficial spokesman masquerading
as a journalist.
“He doesn’t know that to masquerade as a journalist when you
are never one is like a mechanic performing medical surgery. Animal husbandry.
If I borrow the words of Mr Olayinka I would say “you should be doing
documentary on animals” and not fake news journalism. Pathetic.”
