Daniel Bwala, a former spokesman for the 2023 Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has reacted to claims made by the Senate Chief Whip, Ali Ndume.
News About Nigeria reports that Ndume alleged that President Bola Tinubu shut his doors against ministers and members of the National Assembly, preventing them from discussing pressing issues related to the hardship faced by Nigerians.
Bwala dismissed Ndume’s claims, stating that President Tinubu decides who he wants to see and when.
According to Bwala, the President is not obligated to grant audiences to everyone who requests it.
He mentioned that Tinubu has the discretion to choose who he wants to meet with, and when.
Posting on X, Bwala wrote: “At this time it will be safe to say that Senator Ali Ndume’s media rounds and outbursts are personal and selfish. It appears to be about his interest and penchant for gaslighting and grandstanding.
“The President @officialABAT would see who he wants to see when he wants to see him/her. If you feel you have something to tell him about the masses and the economy but you can’t see him, you still have the option of conveying the same message via the Senate President, Chief of Staff, or even the Vice President who comes from the same state as you. Your conduct must be embarrassing @officialSKSM.
“The use of innuendo and brash words is not necessary. Stop weaponizing the sufferings of Nigerians for your own gain. If you are just realizing that Nigerians are suffering, you are a latecomer. Pack well, distinguished.”
