Bwala: Tinubu stabbed us at the back, made ridiculous appointments – APC chieftain Onokpasa
An All Progressives Council chieftain, Jesutega Onokpasa, has accused President Tinubu of stabbing his staunch supporters in their backs with his ‘ridiculous’ appointments.
In an interview with Arise News morning show on Thursday, Onokpasa criticized Daniel Bwala’s appointment as Special adviser on Media and Public Communication to the President.
the president has been receiving backlash over the appointment of Bwala, Atiku’s former aide and a strong critic of his administration.
Onokpasa noted that while other supporters are of the view that Bwala’s appointment is strategy, he describes it as ‘stupidity’.
“Our dear and beloved President stabbed his staunch supporters in the back with his absolutely ridiculous, meaningless, inexplicable appointments.
“I am a Tinubu supporter and not a sycophant; his apologists are calling his appointment of Bwala strategy, but I think it is stupidity”, he said.
The chairman of the Tinubu Media support group (TMSG) argued that Bwala had accused president Tinubu as a drug dealer and got rewarded with an appointment, leaving his supporters who defended him.
“How do you call the president of the country a drug dealer, Daniel Bwala is a lawyer he has no evidence that our president is a drug dealer, he called him a drug baron?”
“How can the president appoint such a person? We were the ones defending him then, this person called the president God gave us a drug dealer then Bayo Onanuga tries to rationalize it”, he lamented.
He further noted that the president took his supporters for granted even after they rallied around him during the incessant attacks from Bwala.
“Not all his supporters want an appointment, its just the insult that our president seems to take us for granted. He doesn’t feed us”.
“Some of us just love him, in fact I even liked the president as a family member that is why it really hurts, my president just acted like he can stab anyone in the back, humiliate us, I don’t trust him anymore.”
