The Director of the Abuja School of Social and Political Thoughts, Sam Amadi, on Wednesday, said Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, was surrounded by individuals he described as “straw men”.
The statement followed recent report of visit to President Bola Tinubu by Daniel Bwala, a chieftain of the PDP.
Bwala, a staunch critic of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, said he was committed to supporting Tinubu’s administration and that he has no apology to anybody for his decision.
He spoke to state house correspondents after closed-door talks with Tinubu at the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja, on Wednesday.
He said, “I told him today, I am committing to play my part to support your administration, and I have no apologies to anybody.”
The development did not go down well with Amadi, who asked God to strengthen Atiku.
He wrote, “May God strengthen you at this point sir.
“It’s not easy to be surrounded by STRAW men.”
