Former Vice-President and presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 generalelection, Atiku Abubakar, has disowned Daniel Bwala, saying he was not his personal aide, but spokesperson of the Atiku/Okowa presidential campaign.

Atiku, in a statement by his media office, said, “It is important that the media and the general public take corrective note of defining Mr. Daniel Bwala as an aide to His Excellency Atiku Abubakar.

“Bwala offered his services and support to the Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Organisation as a spokesperson – and it was a position he held during the last presidential campaign.

“Subsequently, and after the election, the need for a campaign spokesperson has terminated, and Bwala has moved on with his career,” Atiku stated.

Atiku said: “This, therefore, serves as notice to the media and the interested public to desist from defining Bwala as an ex-aide of Atiku Abubakar.

“We duly urge the public to henceforth recognise, introduce, and define Daniel Bwala by his current vocation and alliance,” he said.
