Desist from defining Bwala as an ex-aide of Atiku Abubakar – Atiku clears air about relationship with Bwala

Former Vice-President and 2023 Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has clarified his relationship with lawyer Daniel Bwala.

A statement from Atiku’s media office emphasized that Bwala’s association with the former Vice President was primarily as a spokesperson for his presidential campaign from 2022 to early 2023 and had no further involvement beyond that role.

“Bwala offered his services and support to the Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Organisation as a spokesperson – and it was a position he held during the last presidential campaign.

“Subsequently, and after the election, the need for a campaign spokesperson has terminated, and Bwala has moved on with his career.

“This, therefore, serves as notice to the media and the interested public to desist from defining Bwala as an ex-aide of Atiku Abubakar.

“We duly urge the public to henceforth recognize, introduce, and define Daniel Bwala by his current vocation and alliance.”

This came after Daniel Bwala declared his interest in working for the Bola Tinubu-led administration.
