Internet forums erupted with mixed reactions as photos surfaced of Daniel Bwala, spokesperson of the PDP campaign council, engaging with President Tinubu at the ongoing World Economic Forum in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This marked the third meeting between Bwala and Tinubu, showcasing a notable shift from Bwala's previous criticism during the presidential campaign.
Daniel Bwala, a prominent member of the opposition PDP, has now been spotted engaging with President Tinubu on three separate occasions, raising eyebrows and igniting controversy. Their encounters in France, at the presidential villa, and now at the World Economic Forum have sparked speculation about the nature of their relationship and the implications for Nigerian politics.
The latest rendezvous between Bwala and Tinubu has drawn criticism from various quarters. Some questioned the motives behind Bwala's sudden change in stance, particularly considering his previous opposition to Tinubu's presidential bid. Others highlighted the apparent snubbing of Femi Fani-Kayode (FFK), who had staunchly supported the APC and Tinubu during the presidential campaign but had yet to secure a meeting with the President almost a year into his tenure.
It's worth noting the history between Tinubu and Bwala, who were not allies but once shared a close friendship before political differences drove them apart. Despite their past camaraderie, their recent interactions have fueled speculation and raised questions about alliances and access in Nigerian politics.
As internet forums buzz with debates and discussions, the controversy surrounding Bwala's encounters with Tinubu underscores the complexities of political relationships and the ever-shifting landscape of Nigerian politics. With FFK's exclusion from such interactions despite his past support, the narrative takes on additional layers of intrigue and speculation.
