In a move that sent ripples through the Nigerian political landscape, Daniel Bwala, a prominent figure in the Atiku Abubakar 2023 presidential campaign, paid a visit to President Bola Tinubu at the Aso Rock Villa on Wednesday.
The meeting sparked speculation about a potential switch in allegiances, with Bwala himself leaving the door open to joining the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Speaking after the closed-door meeting, Bwala declared his willingness to “work with the administration of President Tinubu” in the interest of national progress. He further stated that he would “not be an enemy of the government,” a remark interpreted by many as a softening stance towards the APC.
