Special Adviser to President Tinubu on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, said, 2023 Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, “agreed” with the Tinubu-led administration’s policy of subsidy removal and foreign exchange unifications.
However, Bwala said, the former Governor of Anambra State said, he would have implemented the policy “better” than how the APC government implemented it.
The President’s Special Adviser said, Obi claimed, he would have done it in an “”organized manner””.
Bwala said on social media: “Is anybody watching @PeterObi on Arise TV? He agreed with our policy of removal of subsidy and unifications of the foreign exchange; he claimed he would have done it better than us in an “organized manner””
When Obi was quizzed to define “”organized manner””, he danced around words and finally “agreeing with us”, Bwala said.
He said, when the whole thing is critically looked at with “rational mind” one would discover that “these guys are just looking to grab power”, however, they have no idea of “any alternative agenda”.
Bwala concluded, Obi has “very shallow knowledge of economics and governance.”
Bwala said: “He was asked what is the “organized manner” He played with words yet to arrive at agreeing with us.
“Anybody with rational mind knows these guys are just looking to grab power; but they don’t have any alternative agenda.
“He seem to have Very shallow knowledge of economics and governance.”
Bwala revealed the interview was anchored by an Obidient movement member.
He said: “Remember this is even an interview anchored by a member of his Obidient movement ohhh that’s why you don’t hear “I put it to you” no barking like a Rottweiler; Yet “if it didn’t Dey it didn’t Dey””

If you or Nigerians are interested in knowing how organised Peter Obi would have done the unification and removal,
Nigerians should elect him as the president.
Peter is not the president today, and the one who is there indeed messed up with the unification and removal.
Please focus on the president in power and the misery his administration has brought upon the ordinary Nigerians.
Leave Peter Obi.
Until then,
May Nigerians Heal Their Land.

It shows how much value you have placed on his person to take out time to watch and listen to him. This shows a good progress. The unfortunate thing for you and your camp is that Peter Obi will never reveal his strategies so that you and your…boss will not steal the idea. Peter Obi leads and you all follow.”

Peter Obi never said he opposed subsidy removal or forex unification, he said they should be done with a plan, not the chaotic, knee-jerk policies we’ve seen that have pushed millions deeper into poverty.Calling that “playing with words” is just intellectual laziness. It’s easier to attack than to listen.
“As for economic knowledge, Obi ran Anambra without borrowing recklessly, left billions in savings, and improved health and education indices. If that’s “shallow,” then what do you call leaders who spend trillions with nothing to show?And let’s not act like Arise TV is a fan club. Obi has faced more scrutiny than most politicians in recent history. But when he answers without shouting or trading insults, suddenly it’s “he was let off easy”? Sounds more like bitterness than analysis.Instead of cheap shots, how about offering your own detailed economic plan, if there is one.”
