Peter Obi didn’t try to hire you, media office replies Bwala
By Jeffrey Agbo
The Peter Obi Media Reach (POMR) has issued a response to what it called fallacious claims made by Daniel Bwala, Spokesperson on Policy Communication for President Bola Tinubu, that Mr Obi tried to recruit him before the 2023 general elections.
A statement by POMR on Friday signed by Ibrahim Umar said the POMR was reacting to the claims for the benefit of those who may be misled.
“Our principal, Peter Obi, has made it clear that he excludes individuals like Bwala from his political activities and any form of transactional politics that sustain people like him in political circles. The Peter Obi that Nigerians know and appreciate will never engage in such practices. He would rather allocate resources to provide desks for children in Bwala’s village than pay him to concoct falsehoods for public consumption,” the statement said.
“Obi’s approach is rooted in the pursuit of good governance and the creation of a better society for all. He does not pay people to promote a cause; instead, he invites them to join him in believing in a shared vision.
“His ‘engagement’ focuses on persuasion, emphasizing the urgent need for a collective effort to rescue our nation. He welcomes those who choose to join him voluntarily, driven by the same deep-seated convictions.”
POMR urged those involved in “transactional politics” to reconsider their actions—for the sake of the society they are harming and for the future of Nigerian children, which is currently at risk.
For the umpteenth time, we call on Bwala and others like him to count Peter Obi out of their greed, repent, and join us in the quest for a new Nigeria that is indeed Possible,” the statement added.
