Nigeria’s former vice president Atiku Abubakar has disowned Daniel Bwala for transforming from being an unsparing attacker of Bola Tinubu and his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), during the campaigns to being an apostle of their policies after the former Lagos State governor was inaugurated as president.
Atiku said Bwala, who served as a spokesperson for his presidential campaign for last year’s presidential election should no longer be referred to as his ex-aide on media and publicity.

According to the statement released by his media office on Tuesday, Atiku emphasised that Bwala is not and has never been his aide beyond his roles as a spokesperson for his presidential campaign between 2022 and early 2023.
“Bwala offered his services and support to the Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Organization as a spokesperson – and it was a position he held during the last presidential campaign. Subsequently, and after the election, the need for a campaign spokesperson has terminated, and Bwala has moved on with his career.
“This, therefore, serves as notice to the media and the interested public to desist from defining Bwala as an ex-aide of Atiku Abubakar. We duly urge the public to henceforth recognize, introduce, and define Daniel Bwala by his current vocation and alliance,” the statement read.
