Former spokesman of the Atiku-Okowa Presidential Campaign Council, Daniel Bwala, has stirred controversy by labeling the 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, as a “political prostitute” and likening him to Judas Iscariot.
In a bold statement on social media, Bwala accused Obi of betraying the late Biafra warlord, Odumegu Ojukwu, and former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar. Sharing a video of Obi pledging allegiance to the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Bwala highlighted Obi’s subsequent defections to different political parties, including the PDP and now the Labour Party (LP), with plans to move to the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
“Take a listen to @PeterObi in APGA vowing if he leaves APGA let his family die; this is before he embarked on his political olosho,” Bwala wrote, referencing Obi’s shifting allegiances. “He betrayed Odimegwu Ojukwu, he betrayed Atiku Abubakar and now planning to betray Pat Utomi and co.”
As the Easter period approaches, Bwala drew parallels between Obi and Judas Iscariot, the infamous betrayer of Jesus Christ. Despite attempts to defend Obi’s actions, Bwala remained steadfast in his criticism, suggesting that others may not fully grasp the extent of Obi’s alleged betrayals.
The contentious remarks have sparked debate and divided opinions among political observers and the public, shedding light on the complexities of political loyalty and integrity in Nigeria’s ever-evolving landscape.
As the political drama unfolds, the spotlight remains on Peter Obi and his controversial political journey, leaving many to ponder the true nature of loyalty and betrayal in the realm of Nigerian politics.
