Atiku Abubakar Disassociates Himself from Former Campaign Spokesperson Daniel Bwala

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has clarified that Daniel Bwala, who previously served as a spokesperson for his presidential campaign, is not his aide beyond that role.

In a statement issued by his media office on Tuesday, Atiku emphasized that Bwala’s association with him was limited to serving as a spokesperson for his campaign from 2022 to early 2023.

“It is important that the media and the general public take corrective note of defining Mr. Daniel Bwala as an aide to His Excellency Atiku Abubakar.

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,” the statement reads.

Bwala recently expressed his willingness to work in the administration of Bola Tinubu and met with the President in Paris, France, where he shared a message of hope from Tinubu.

This meeting followed an earlier meeting at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

In response to the ensuing controversy, Bwala disclosed that he had informed Atiku about his decision before visiting the President.
