Former Atiku Aide Open to APC Return in Support of Tinubu’s Leadership
In a recent turn of events, a former aide to Atiku Abubakar, Bwala, has openly declared his support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration. Bwala, previously a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), expressed his admiration for Tinubu’s decisive actions in governance, particularly his stance on ministerial accountability and efforts to streamline government spending.
Bwala highlighted the president’s commitment to the people, citing a recent policy aimed at reducing the cost of governance as a commendable step. He emphasized that his support for Tinubu is not rooted in party politics but in the effective policies being implemented.
Reflecting on his political journey, Bwala recalled his initial support for Tinubu and his unwavering dedication to the leader’s vision. He stated that his allegiance to Tinubu’s principles could potentially lead him back to the All Progressives Congress (APC), the party he had previously left due to disagreements over certain nominations.
Bwala’s departure from the APC in 2022 was marked by his refusal to tarnish Tinubu’s reputation, despite their differing views on the party’s vice-presidential candidate selection. He defended Atiku Abubakar against accusations of nepotism and bigotry, highlighting the diverse team surrounding the politician.
The former aide also addressed rumors about his motivations for leaving the APC, clarifying that his decision was based on principles rather than the prospect of an appointment. He fondly remembered Tinubu’s promise to consider him for a role in his campaign, a testament to the respect and regard he holds for the president.
Bwala’s current stance is a testament to his belief in Nigeria’s potential and the importance of supporting leadership that prioritizes the nation’s well-being over partisan interests.
