Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Media and Policy Communication, has declared that a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Peter Obi would never be president of Nigeria.
Bwala said Obi lacks the characteristics of a person who wants to be president of Nigeria.
Featuring on News Central TV’s 60 Minutes with Mr Kay on Friday, Bwala said: “Peter Obi will never be president. He will never cross the central business district that will lead Aso Villa.
“Anybody that would be a president, there are characteristics that you will see.
“The person must be visionary, the person must be grassrooted, organic grassrooted, not manipulation, and the person must be sincere for whatever he is but won’t present a picture for what he is totally the opposite for who he is, Peter Obi will never be.”
The presidential aide also noted that the former Anambra State governor lacks grassroot support.
He also accused Obi of selling fake narrative to the Nigerian church during the past administration of the late former president Muhammadu Buhari.
“Peter Obi does not have a grassroot, what Peter Obi did is that he went to the church with a narrative when Buhari was in government that the church is being disenfranchised and it’s time for the church to take back their country.
“That narrative is what he used in rallying support among pastors, bishops and that is not a grassroot support,” he added.
