The Presidency has taken a swipe at former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, following his recent media appearance, describing his performance during the interview as unimpressive.
Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Media and Policy Communication, criticised Obi while reacting to an interview the former Anambra State governor granted on Tuesday.
Bwala, in a post shared on his verified X account on Wednesday, questioned Obi’s ability to clearly articulate his plans for addressing some of the country’s pressing challenges.
“This is the bold vision of Peter Obi as expressed by himself on a podcast interview.
“Have you taken your time to listen to his interview on a platform of his own unofficial spokesman? Even with the leading questions the guy no fit perform,” Bwala said.
The presidential aide’s comments came shortly after Obi’s appearance on a programme hosted by broadcaster Oseni Rufai. During the discussion, Obi spoke on governance, national security, economic reforms and the country’s power sector.
One of the major talking points from the interview was Obi’s response when asked about his plans for improving electricity supply in Nigeria. The former presidential candidate declined to disclose specific details of his strategy, arguing that revealing such plans publicly was not necessary at the moment.
