A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Daniel Bwala says he would not decline an appointment from President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
Bwala, formerly the spokesperson of the Atiku Presidential Campaign Council, faced criticism for his recent visit to President Tinubu at Aso Rock.
Despite facing a wave of criticisms, Bwala remains steadfast in his decision and insists that he would not decline an offer from the president.
“Ok, let me tell you this: If the president makes an offer of a position that I see that will contribute to the development of his agenda because I say I will support his agenda,” he said on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics.
“I will more than more than anything else, appreciate it, but it is not the appointment that I am looking for to support him. That’s why I’m telling you eight years I supported Buhari, I was not a public official.”
It’s essential to distinguish between those who lack value and desperately seek appointments and those who believe their worth and contributions are independent of whether they receive an appointment or not.
“But I can understand when people rate you and then they see what you can bring to the table. Sometimes people do what we call pre-emptive action, they can pre-empt it.
“And I said so many things in the media, ‘He promised this, he said that’. I want to say to everybody listening, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has not promised me anything.”
He also said the visit to Tinubu was not a betrayal of Atiku, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 election.
“I informed Atiku Abubakar I was going to see the President,” Bwala maintained.
“After I had seen the President, I informed him (Atiku) that I had just seen the President and he replied me that, ‘Thanks Daniel for notifying me’.”
