Daniel Bwala, a Chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has taken a swipe at the Labour Party flagbearers Peter Obi and Yusuf Datti Baba Ahmed after the world press conference held by the party.

Recall that at the conference with newsmen in Abuja, Obi accepted the Supreme Court judgement which affirmed the election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

He, however, noted that the judgement would not signify the end of the Obidient movement.

Reacting to the comments made by Obi and Datti Baba Ahmed in a series of tweets on his X page (formerly Twitter) on Monday, Daniel Bwala, an aide to PDP flagbearer, Atiku Abubakar, affirmed that Obi and his running mate, as well as their supporters, are a hard nut for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to crack.

According to the PDP chieftain, although Datti Baba Ahmed has accepted that Tinubu is the president of the court but their earlier position remained unshaken.

He tweeted: "Listening to @Naija_Activist Datti Baba Ahmed this evening I believe the man has not shifted a bit from his earlier position, although he now accepts the fact that Tinubu is the President by the court."

Speaking further, Atiku's aide maintained that Obi's press conference signalled Tinubu has more problems to contend with regarding LP and the Obidients, as an opposition in the polity.

Adding that the insecurity and the entire Nigeria's major challenges are not compared to what Tinubu will face in the hands of LP and its supporters.

In excerpts of the tweet on Tuesday, November 7, he wrote: "But @PeterObi and @Naija_Activist Obi/Datti’s position today convinced me that @officialABAT Tinubu has more problems to manage with Labour Party and Obidients than the entire economy and insecurity in Nigeria. How he will navigate this is a course to be taught in OAU, ABU and Nsukka universities."
