‘Miracle centre presidential candidate’ – Presidency hits Peter Obi

President Bola Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Policy
Communication, Daniel Bwala, has described the Nigeria Democratic Congress,
NDC, presidential candidate, Peter Obi as a “miracle centre presidential
candidate.”

 

Bwala was reacting to Obi’s recent interview, where he gave
conditions before agreeing to debate with the Minister of Works, Dave Umahi.

In an interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo, Obi
had said he would debate with Umahi when he qualifies as a presidential
candidate of a political party.

He made the remark against the backdrop of the minister’s
declaration that he was ready to debate with Obi over road infrastructure.

However, Bwala in a post on X, questioned how Obi emerged as a presidential candidate because he never went through the process of  primary election.

Bwala wrote: “Peter Obi is telling Chude on his podcast that
if H.E Dave Umah wants to debate him,
he should first qualify as a presidential candidate first.

“Funny; the Peter Obi @PeterObi, how did he qualify to be a
presidential candidate? Did he (Peter Obi) participate in any presidential
primaries?

“In fact, has he ever participated in any presidential
primaries? Imagine a miracle centre presidential candidate questioning a
successful governor and performing minister on qualifications.”
