It is funny how failed politicians are trying to re-define democracy. PeterObi said democracy has collapsed. Does he even know the meaning of democracy – Bwala
Former presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) Peter Obi has been referred to as a failed politician by Daniel Bwala, who serves as the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Policy.
According to Bwala, Obi is so ignorant of democracy that he does not even understand. This Follows after Peter Obi made the assertion that democracy in Nigeria had been destroyed.
In Abuja on Monday, Obi made the statement that the progress that had been gained since Nigeria’s return to civilian rule in 1999 had been lost.
He made this statement while addressing at the 60th birthday colloquium of former Deputy Speaker Emeka Ihedioha.
“If you look at where we are today, it’s like they (the PDP) started in 1999 and laid the foundation. Some people came and took it to the deck, and some people were trying to take it to the first floor when some people came and knocked everything down.”
As a response, Bwala took to his official X to criticize Peter Obi, claiming that he is unable of comprehending the concept of democracy.
He stated that Obi, whom he referred to as a failed politician, was involved in buying and selling during the time that campaigners were fighting against military regimes.
He wrote, “It is funny how failed politicians are trying to re-define democracy. PeterObi said democracy has collapsed. Does he even know the meaning of democracy.Â
“When people were fighting for democracy, Gregory was buying and selling. He doesn’t have a history of any democratic activism from his school days to date. His expertise lies in instigating hate speech and vitriol.”
