The former spokesman for Atiku Abubakar, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the February 2023 presidential election, Mr.Daniel Bwala, has said he will accept any position that will enable him to support President Bola Tinubu’s agenda for Nigeria.
He said this during an interview on Channels Television on Sunday.
Bwala, who recently met with President Tinubu and declared his support to work with the All Progressives Congress (APC) government, said he will accept any offer by the President because he promised to support his agenda.
He said: “Ok, let me tell you this: If the president makes an offer of a position that I see that will contribute to the development of his agenda because I say I will support his agenda, I will more than anything else, appreciate it, but it is not the appointment that I am looking for to support him. That’s why I’m telling you eight years I supported Buhari, I was not a public official.
“You see, you have to separate between those who do not have value and are clinging and crying for appointment and those who believe the value and what they will contribute has nothing to do with whether you are appointed or you are not appointed.
“But I can understand when people rate you and then they see what you can bring to the table. Sometimes people do what we call pre-emptive action, they can pre-empt it. And I said so many things in the media, ‘He promised this, he said that’. I want to say to everybody listening, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has not promised me anything,” Bwala said.
Bwala also clarified that the visit to Tinubu was not a betrayal of Atiku, “I informed Atiku Abubakar I was going to see the President,” Bwala maintained. After I had seen the President, I informed him (Atiku) that I had just seen the President and he replied me that, ‘Thanks Daniel for notifying me.”
