'I have no regret going to PDP or supporting Atiku' - Bwala gives reason

Daniel Bwala, a former spokesperson for the now-disbanded Atiku-Okowa Presidential Campaign Council, reiterated that he had no regrets about working for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its presidential candidate.

He emphasised the necessity for Nigeria to achieve safety and security ahead of the 2027 general elections.

He made these remarks during an interview on Arise Television last Friday.

While acknowledging President Bola Tinubu's administration for its efforts, Bwala expressed no remorse for his decision to align with Atiku Abubakar.

As quoted by Vanguard, he said: “I have no regret going to PDP or supporting Atiku, I do my things based on conviction and at the end of the day, if it doesn’t work out, I accept my fate.

“The reality I have accepted now is that this politicking is gone, and because of the crisis in Nigeria, the only way we can have a 2027 election is when Nigeria is safe and secure."

Why Bwala chose Tinubu over Atiku

He stated that he had supported President Tinubu because of his political ideology of working with the opposition to achieve the Nigerian dream of the country's founding fathers.

Bwala said: “I saw that this president I supported in APC is trying to ensure he rewrites the wrongs of the past administration. “When he said he wanted all opposition to come together for nation-building, I felt it was the right time to look at nation’s building rather than politicking. There must be a Nigeria before we do politics.”
