- Daniel Bwala, an aide to Atiku Abubakar, claims there’s a plot by the Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led administration to arrest and detain him
- He cites credible intelligence from sources at the presidential villa and believes it’s due to his political opposition and faith-based stance
Daniel Bwala, an aide to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Candidate in the last general election, Atiku Abubakar, has accused President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led administration of plotting to arrest and detain him.
On Monday, the legal practitioner claimed in a post on X.
He claimed he had reliable information from some people at the presidential villa about a plot to use security agencies to arrest and detain him.
Bwala wrote:
Last night I got a credible intelligence that some key people around the seat of power (Presidential Aso Vila) of this government are planning to use security agencie(s) to arrest me and take me into custody on a trumped-up allegations in other to rubbish me and silence me. That I am making them and the government uncomfortable.
Let the world know today that I have always known that from my stands on the same faith ticket which led to my leaving APC , and consequent posture as a political opposition, it might irk the deep state and come with persecution for what i believe in and stand for. If anything happens to me, let the world know today of their evil plans.
Bwala is said to have defected from the All Progressives Congress (APC) after the party announced a Muslim-Muslim ticket for the 2023 presidential election.
On Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily, he argued that Tinubu’s selection of former Borno State governor Kashim Shettima as his running mate was not “good news for the APC.”
