Obi Refutes Bwala's Claims on 2023 Campaign Support

Peter Obi, the former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, publicly denied allegations made by Daniel Bwala, a special adviser to President Bola Tinubu, suggesting that Obi sought Bwala's support for his 2023 presidential campaign. Obi described Bwala's claims as baseless and emphasized that he has not engaged in any political transactions with Bwala.

He made these clarifications during a media briefing in Abuja, where he stated that it was necessary to address the matter for public benefit. Obi criticized Bwala's accusations as dishonest and reiterated his commitment to pursuing good governance and creating a better society.

He invited Bwala to join his vision for a "new Nigeria" instead of promoting falsehoods. The statement follows Bwala's claims regarding a meeting involving former President Olusegun Obasanjo and discussions about Obi's campaign strategy.

Obi's running mate, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, was also mentioned in the context of the political landscape following the 2023 elections.
