Atiku’s Camp Mocks Tinubu’s ‘New Man’ In First Salvo
The camp of Atiku Abubakar has opened account with their erstwhile colleague, Daniel Bwala following his recent appointment as Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu.
In its first salvo against Bwala, Atiku’s media adviser, Mazi Paul Ibe mocked the Tinubu administration for supposedly going with the largest entourage to the ongoing Climate Conference in Baku, Azerbadjan with 634 delegates.
Mazi Ibe concluded the outing by recalling Bwala’s words that the human brain works perfectly until one joins the All Progressives Congress, APC.
GWG.ng reports that Bwala who served as campaign spokesman to Atiku, the PDP 2023 presidential candidate was recently appointed by Tinubu to serve as special adviser, Media and Communications.
In a post on X, Mazi Ibe said:
Under the stewardship of President Tinubu, Nigeria has sadly garnered notoriety on the global stage, setting Guinness World Records albeit for all the wrong reasons. A case in point is the size of the nation’s delegations to international conferences and state visits, which have ballooned to staggering proportions.
At the ongoing #COP29 climate summit in Baku, Azerbaijan, Nigeria proudly claims the title of Africa’s largest delegation, with an astounding 634 individuals making the trip. According to @BusinessDayNg, this monumental entourage has racked up a staggering N866 million in flight expenses alone.
This comes hot on the heels of the 2023 #COP28 summit in Dubai, where President Tinubu’s delegation swelled to an eye-popping 1,411 members. Not only did this extravagant “owambe” display earn Nigeria the dubious honour of the largest delegation from Africa, but it also positioned the nation as the third largest of all participating countries.
Ironically, amidst this lavish display of largesse, the very same administration is espousing the implementation of the Steve Oronsaye Report—an initiative ostensibly designed to streamline governance and reduce costs.
In truth, as Daniel Bwala @BwalaDaniel astutely diagnosed, the current APC administration’s approach to governance seems to be a contradiction in terms —preaching austerity while indulging in excess.
