Peter Obi ‘reduced to Amaechi’s level’, now Commander-in-Chief of lies – Presidency

President Bola Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, on Monday described former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi as the “Commander-In-Chief of misinformation and falsehood”.
Bwala spoke while reacting to Obi’s remark that Tinubu has borrowed more than former Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo, Musa Yar’Adua, Goodluck Jonathan, and Muhammadu Buhari.
Posting on X, Bwala wrote: “Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the commander in chief of misinformation, disinformation and falsehood; Peter “Gbajue” Obi.
“The Gbajue movement have found a new hero called “grok” but sadly, each time they asked grok for comments about me, they got what they never wanted to hear.
“We are focused on substantive issues raised by Gbajue and are on high alert to take down falsehood and disinformation.
“They said we are having sleepless nights yet we are only reacting to Gbajue’s obsession about our president and our government.
“In fact, why wasting our time with someone that has been downgraded and relegated to a second fiddle and is now left to struggle for that position with Rotimi Amaechi?”
