…By Dorcas Funmi for TDPel Media. Daniel Bwala, the spokesperson for the Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Organisation, has reaffirmed his loyalty to his party and its 2023 presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
His statement comes in response to the varied reactions following his congratulatory message to Asiwaju Bola Tinubu on his inauguration as the new President.
Bwala addressed these concerns during an interview on ARISE News, highlighting the divisive nature of the 2023 elections and the polarization of Nigerian politics.
Divisions in Nigerian Politics:
Bwala acknowledged that the tweet generated mixed reactions due to the ethnic backgrounds of the three major candidates in the 2023 general elections.
He emphasized that politics in Nigeria has become highly polarized, leading people to form opinions based on their own affiliations.
He defended his tweet, stating that it did not indicate disloyalty to Atiku or the party.

Expressing his disappointment, Bwala expressed surprise that individuals from both sides of the political spectrum questioned his loyalty over a congratulatory message to Tinubu and Shettima.
He shared his experience of facing criticism from the PDP when he was in the APC, and vice versa, highlighting the inherent nature of political divisions.
Emphasizing Loyalty to Atiku Abubakar:
Bwala reiterated his unwavering loyalty to Atiku Abubakar, emphasizing that his dedication is known to everyone.
He clarified that his congratulatory message did not imply acceptance of the election outcome, as they are currently in court to prove that the process was rigged and the election was stolen.
Cordial Relationship with Tinubu and APC Members:
The lawyer maintained that he maintains a cordial relationship with President Tinubu and other members of the APC.
He expressed confidence in their ongoing court case against the APC and Tinubu, believing that they will prove their case.
He stressed the importance of upholding the constitution and respecting constituted authority, while also holding personal opinions and partisanship.
Distinction between Congratulatory Message and Acceptance of Election Outcome:
Bwala clarified that his congratulatory message to Tinubu and Shettima was not based on accepting the election outcome.
He reaffirmed their position that the election was stolen, and they are actively pursuing their case in court.
He pointed out that the congratulatory message was separate from their legal battle and should not be misinterpreted as an endorsement of the election result or undermining their partisanship.
Conclusion:
Daniel Bwala’s reaffirmation of loyalty to Atiku Abubakar and the PDP highlights the importance of maintaining party allegiance amidst controversial tweets.
