Daniel Bwala, one of President Bola Tinubu’s spokesmen, has accused Arise Television presenter Rufai Oseni of acting as an unofficial spokesperson for presidential candidate of Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Mr Peter Obi.
Bwala made the allegation in a post on X on Monday while
reacting to Obi’s criticism of President Tinubu over his administration’s
handling of public resources and governance.
Obi, in a post titled “Good Day, Mr President: Nigerians
Deserve Accountability”, had challenged Tinubu to account for the funds saved
from fuel subsidy removal, government borrowings and increased revenue.
The former Anambra State governor also urged the President
to explain what his administration had achieved in tackling poverty,
out-of-school children, inadequate healthcare, poor electricity supply and
insecurity.
Reacting, Bwala alleged that Oseni drafted the post for Obi
to enable him to amplify the message during Arise Television’s morning
programme.
“That tweet of @PeterObi was drafted to him by Rufai Oseni
so he (Rufai) would amplify on their morning show. Check the pattern and flow
as revealed to me by my sources in their camp.
“What is wrong with openly acknowledging that he is Obi’s
unofficial spokesman? Hypocrites,” Bwala wrote.
The presidential spokesman, however, did not provide
evidence to substantiate his allegation that Oseni drafted Obi’s post.
Obi’s remarks come amid growing political exchanges between
supporters of the former presidential candidate and the Tinubu administration
ahead of the 2027 general elections.
