Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has distanced himself from Daniel Bwala, who formerly served as a spokesperson during his presidential campaign for the last year’s presidential election
According to a statement issued by his media office on Tuesday, Atiku clarified that Mr Bwala’s association with him was limited to serving as a spokesperson for his presidential campaign during the period of 2022 to early 2023.
Periscope Nigeria reports that Bwala has since after the election held meetings with President Bola Tinubu, which made felt was a blow to the Atiku’s camp.
Atiku emphasised that Mr Bwala was not, and has never been, his aide beyond this specific role.
“It is important that the media and the general public take corrective note of defining Mr Daniel Bwala as an aide to His Excellency Atiku Abubakar.
“Bwala offered his services and support to the Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Organisation as a spokesperson – and it was a position he held during the last presidential campaign,” the statement read in part.
