Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Media and Policy Communication.

Presidential spokesman Daniel Bwala has weighed in on the growing public dispute between Peter Obi and his former campaign spokesperson, Kenneth Okonkwo, describing the controversy as one that continues to generate fresh allegations.

Bwala made the remarks in a reaction posted on social media following the exchange between Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), and Okonkwo over an alleged defamatory publication.

“Kenneth Okwuonkwo also said that @PeterObi is a political scammer. That he tells people I don’t give shishi but goes to diaspora and collects shishi,” Bwala wrote.
