Presidential aide Daniel Bwala has disclosed that he once turned down an offer to work for former presidential candidate Peter Obi.
According to Bwala, Obi used former President Olusegun Obasanjo to ask him to work for him in 2023, but he declined.
The presidential aide disclosed this during an interview with On-Air Personality Daddy Freeze.
He stated that Obasanjo was behind Obi’s presidential agenda despite his public denial.
Bwala claimed that when he refused to work with Peter Obi, Obidients started insulting him.
He said, “In 2023, Peter Obi asked Obasanjo, who called me while I was in London. He was at Hilton together with Datti and two other stakeholders. He called me, and while I picked the call, I didn’t hear him well, so I asked, ‘Who is that?’ He said, ‘My name is Obasanjo.’
“And I said, ‘Daddy, sorry,’ and he said, ‘I’m calling you to come and join me.’ At that time, he was denying that he was behind Peter Obi’s agenda. Peter Obi approached me to work for him, and I refused.
“Ambassador Amuchi Osuk was the person they sent to begin the term, and at that time, they thought I was going to go to Peter Obi. When you leave on the grounds of a Muslim-Muslim ticket, the PDP’s candidate at that time was a Muslim; they thought, naturally, this guy is a bigot, so he would go to a Christian candidate. When I didn’t go, Obidient people started abusing me.”
