Special adviser to president Tinubu on Policy Communication, Daniel H. Bwala has criticised former Anambra State governor Peter Obi over his political party history, questioning his loyalty and consistency in party affiliation.

In a post on X on Tuesday, Bwala accused Obi of practising what he described as nomadic politics and declared the day World Shame Day for the former presidential candidate and his supporters, popularly known as Obidients.

Bwala referenced Obi’s recent interview on Arise Television, where he was questioned about his movement across political platforms, including the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and later the Labour Party, under which he contested the 2023 presidential election. He also alluded to ongoing speculation linking Obi to possible future political alignments.

According to Bwala, Obi’s explanation that he leaves political parties when internal challenges arise reflects a lack of commitment to party structures and raises questions about his suitability for national leadership.

“Imagine the character that said he wants to govern Nigeria?” Bwala wrote in the post, arguing that such a stance demonstrates instability in political conduct.

Obi, who served as governor of Anambra State from 2006 to 2014, became a central figure in Nigeria’s 2023 general election, where he ran under the Labour Party and secured significant youth support, is currently with the African Democratic Congress, ADC. His campaign focused on governance reform, accountability and economic discipline.

In previous remarks, Obi has defended his political movements, stating that they were driven by internal party crises and the need to operate within platforms aligned with his principles and policy direction.

The exchange adds to ongoing political tensions between members of the administration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu and opposition figures, reflecting continued debate over party loyalty and political realignment in Nigeria’s evolving political landscape.
