President Bola Tinubu’s special adviser on policy and communication, Daniel Bwala, criticises NDC presidential candidate Peter Obi following Obi’s visit to Koinonia Global, a church founded by Pastor Joshua Selman, on Sunday. Bwala says Obi has been “reduced” to being a content creator, reacting to Obi’s remarks during the visit.
During the church visit, Obi tells believers that politicians are part of what Nigeria is facing and urges prayer for Nigerian politicians to stop stealing public funds. He also frames Nigeria’s challenges as a leadership problem. In response, Bwala argues that Obi is using church engagements as a form of campaigning and dismisses the visit as efforts to push “sentiments and vitriol,” according to his post on X. The outlets present the same exchange but focus different parts of the criticism: one highlights Bwala’s “effigy of content creation” wording, while the other reiterates the visit and the substance of Obi’s message.
