Daniel Bwala, a media aide to Atiku Abubakar, the
presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023
election, has said President Bola Tinubu and the Yoruba don’t play politics of
bitterness.
Bwala was reacting to the resignation of Abdullahi Adamu as
the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Tweeting, Bwala wrote: “Life is to be taken easy, ohh. The
APC chairman that was reported to have said, I could write demand letters that
filled his office and still not get my professional fees for what I worked for,
simply because I left the party, is, today, not the chairman [anymore], and he
will watch how I will be paid my fees by those who, in spite of the fact that I
left the party, maintained cordiality and respect.
“To be honest, the Yorubas know how to play politics without
bitterness. Beginning with PBAT Asiwaju, his family, and those around him. When
we meet and exchange pleasantries, [it is] as if I never left. The other day,
Babatunde Ogala, SAN, in court saw me and shouted in an open court filled
before the judges sat, “Bwala, you know you are on loan, and you must come
back.” Everybody laughed.
“Today I accidentally met Kayode Fayemi on my way to the
gym. As soon as we sighted each other, I greeted him. He laughed and said, You
must come home. No bitterness. But my Northern brothers in APC stopped talking
to me because I left APC, and one of them refused to pay me my legal fees.
“There are a few of my northern brothers, though, that are
exceptionally good and still keep in touch. May God help us to see politics and
practise it as politics and not war because power is truly transient.”
