Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has distanced himself from Daniel Bwala, who was a spokesperson for his campaign in last year’s presidential election.
According to a statement released by his media office on Tuesday, Atiku explained that Bwala’s role with him was confined to functioning as a spokeswoman for his presidential campaign from 2022 to early 2023. Atiku emphasized that Bwala was not, and never has been, his aide beyond this specific function.
“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 in part.
