Bwala Critiques Peter Obi's Frequent Party Changes

Daniel Bwala, the presidential spokesperson for the Democratic Coalition (NDC), criticized Peter Obi's frequent changes of political parties, comparing it to the game of table tennis. During an interview with Morayo Afolabi-Brown, Bwala highlighted Obi's rapid political trajectory, noting his transitions between the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Labour Party, and African Democratic Congress (ADC) before joining the NDC.

Bwala argued that such a nomadic political history disqualifies Obi from leading Nigeria, especially as the country faces complex crises. He expressed skepticism about the recent efforts of various political figures to form a united opposition front ahead of the 2027 elections, suggesting that alliances formed in haste are likely to unravel.

Bwala emphasized that a leader must be capable of managing intra-party conflicts and addressing crises, stating that Obi's pattern of abandoning political platforms at the slightest hint of internal friction raises questions about his readiness to govern.
