Obidients will pose more problems for Tinubu than Nigeria’s economic and security woes, says Bwala

Daniel Bwala, the spokesperson of the Atiku Abubakar Presidential Campaign Council, has said that President Bola Tinubu will have more difficulties in dealing with the followers of Peter Obi, the Labour Party (LP) candidate, who are known as Obidients, than in handling the nation’s economic and security issues.

Bwala made this remark in response to the comments of Obi’s running mate, Datti Baba-Ahmed, on the Supreme Court ruling that confirmed Tinubu’s election as Nigeria’s president.

Datti, in a television programme on Monday, claimed that the highest court did not uphold Tinubu’s victory but only endorsed the illegality of the lower courts.

He also said that he would never be intimidated by a man who falsified his certificate and lost drug money.

However, in a post on his X handle on Tuesday, Bwala said that Tinubu will face more challenges in managing the LP and its supporters.

He said, “After listening to Datti Baba-Ahmed this evening, I think the man has not changed his stance at all, even though he now admits that Tinubu is the president of the court.

“But Peter Obi and Datti’s position today convinced me that @officialABAT Tinubu has more problems to deal with with the Labour Party and Obidients than the entire economy and insecurity in Nigeria.

“How he will cope with this is a topic to be taught at OAU, ABU, and Nsukka universities,” he added.
