Special Adviser to the President on Media and Policy, Daniel Bwala, has responded vigorously to the speech by the presidential candidate of the Labour Part( LP), Mr Peter Obi, at the 60th birthday colloquium for former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Emeka Ihedioha, in Abuja, on Monday, describing him as as a failed politician.
Obi had in his speech claimed that democracy in Nigeria has collapsed under the present administration
He stated that the progress made since Nigeria’s return to civilian rule in 1999 had been eroded.
However, Bwala, in a post on his X handle on Tuesday, said that Obi doesn’t have a history of democratic activism from his school days to the present.
Bwala claimed that Obi does not even know the meaning of democracy.
He said: “It is funny how failed politicians are trying to redefine democracy. @PeterObi said democracy has collapsed.
“Does he even know the meaning of democracy?
“When people were fighting for democracy, Gregory was buying and selling.
“He doesn’t have a history of any democratic activism from his school days to date.
“His expertise lies in instigating hate speech and vitriol.
“Talk is cheap.”
