Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Policy Communication, has criticised the 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi, describing him as a “character-in-chief.”

Bwala made the remark during an interview on The Clarity Zone Podcast, anchored by media personality Chinedu Emmanuel, popularly known as Nedu.

Reacting to Obi’s reported description of him as a “character,” Bwala dismissed the former Anambra State governor’s comments, accusing him of engaging in political theatrics rather than substantive discourse.

According to Bwala, Obi’s style of politics relies heavily on public performance, which he claimed does not translate into effective leadership or governance.

The exchange is the latest in a series of verbal clashes between both figures, reflecting the lingering political tensions following the 2023 general election.
