Special Adviser to President Tinubu on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, has described former presidential candidate Rabiu Kwankwaso’s criticism as a political stunt.
Recall that Kwankwaso accused Tinubu’s government of favouring the South at the expense of the North.
Speaking to Punch, Bwala claimed that Kwankwaso’s outburst was a political stunt aimed at re-entering negotiations with the President. …CONTINUE READING
He said, “It is only in politics that somebody can trafficate left and turn right. What Kwankwaso is saying is just politics. Sometimes, politicians do one or two things to increase market value and to force a negotiation.
“But I can guarantee you that Kwankwaso can’t achieve his aspiration without joining the APC and aligning with Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
“I know that Kwankwaso is going to align with President Bola Tinubu. He may not necessarily join the APC, but that is his only strategy to align with his aspiration.”
Bwala added that Kwankwaso’s exclusion from recent coalition talks and the media spotlight was deliberate, suggesting the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) leader’s antics were aimed at staying relevant.
