FORMER spokesman of the Atiku-Okowa 2023 Presidential Campaign, Daniel Bwala, has described the Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Mr Peter Obi as “Twitter president”
Mr Bwala said Mr Obi likes to grandstand, adding that he loves to approbate and reprobate.
He was reacting to Obi’s reaction to the withdrawal of Nigeria’s senior men’s basketball team, D’Tigers from the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) Afrobasket 2025 qualifiers due to paucity of funds.
Mr Obi had posted on X: “I read, with dismay, the reports of the withdrawal of Nigeria’s senior men’s national basketball team, D’Tigers, from the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) Afrobasket 2025 qualifiers due to lack of funds.”
But, Mr Bwala in a post reminded Mr Obi of an old post where he said “We must stop this unproductive habit of throwing scarce and borrowed money at immediate problem….. ”
Mr Bwala criticized the former Anambra State governor for alleged grandstanding.
Posting on X, Mr Bwala wrote: “You just like to approbate and reprobate Pitobi. Didn’t you say the below? Nothing Dey sweet you like grandstanding. Twitter President.”
Meanwhile, the issue of paucity of funds that sparked the exchange has since been resolved as D’Tigers are presently participating in the qualifiers.
