Bwala A Failed Lawyer, Will Be Political Liability To Tinubu — Ndume
Senator Ali Ndume has alleged that a former critic of President Bola Tinubu Daniel Bwala is a failed lawyer and can only be a liability to the Nigerian leader.
Bwala, a lawyer, had dumped the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) during the lead-up to the 2023 election.
He recently returned to the APC and had faulted Senator Ndume for criticising President Tinubu. Bwala also accused the Borno lawmaker of inciting youths in Hawul Local Government Area of the state against him.
But Ndume who recently lost his position as the Chief Whip of the Senate owing to his criticisms of Tinubu’s policies said Bwala is trying to get the President’s attention.
“I just pray that they will give him something because he’s trying to get something to survive on after being a failed lawyer in Abuja,” Ndume told journalists in his Maiduguri hometown on Saturday.
“So, he’s now trying to get into the presidency and generate sympathy. I don’t have time for that. It’s politics. In our place, we only play politics. We don’t play politics of violence,” Senator Ndume said.
“We play politics of the people and I can tell them that Bwala – Daniel Bwala – not Inuwa Bwala or many Bwalas that we have that are useful. Daniel Bwala can only be a political liability to the President.”
