You're Peter Obi’s unofficial spokesman - Daniel Bwala accuses Rufai Oseni

Daniel Bwala, a spokesman for President Bola Tinubu, has accused Arise Television presenter Rufai Oseni of serving as an unofficial spokesperson for presidential candidate Peter Obi of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC). Bwala made this claim on X, a social media platform, in response to Obi's criticism of Tinubu's administration over its handling of public resources and governance.

In his post titled "Good Day, Mr President: Nigerians Deserve Accountability," Obi challenged Tinubu to explain how he had handled the funds saved from the removal of fuel subsidies, government borrowings, and increased revenue. Obi also urged the President to detail what his administration had accomplished in addressing poverty, out-of-school children, inadequate healthcare, poor electricity supply, and insecurity.

Bwala claimed that Oseni had drafted Obi's post to enable him to amplify the message during Arise Television's morning program. However, Bwala did not provide any evidence to support his allegation. The controversy between supporters of Obi and the Tinubu administration has intensified ahead of the 2027 general elections.
