DANIEL BWALA: A FAILED LAWYER, MAD DOG – NDUME TELLS TINUBU TO BE CAREFUL

Mohammed Ali Ndume, senator representing Borno South, has alleged that Daniel Bwala, former aide of Atiku Abubakar, Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 elections, can only be a political liability to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

After Tinubu’s victory in last year’s election, Bwala had dumped the camp of Atiku, warming his way to the APC which he claimed to have dumped over the Muslim-Muslim ticket.

Before announcing his formal defection, Bwala had tackled Ndume over his criticism of the president.

Subsequently, Bwala posted that Ndume was planning to mobilise Youths to attack him in his local government, Hawul, which is part of the Senator Ndume’s constituency.

Reacting to the allegation at his Maiduguri residence in Borno state, Ndume said it is unfortunate that Bwala who claimed to be an indigene of Hawul cannot trace his actual roots, not to talk of the people in Hawul.

“The only advice I can give President Tinubu is that, politically Daniel Bwala is just a Mad Dog who barks and bites even the owner, and so, Tinubu should be careful with the likes of Bwala.

“Bwala was once a member of the APC, but later ran away shamelessly and joined the former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, where he started using all sorts of abusive and insulting words against Tinubu on Live television. Bwala can only be useful in attacking people, but 2027 general elections is coming, all I can advise is for Bwala to come to Borno and trace his roots.

“Ordinarily, I did not want to join issues with him. I wouldn’t have replied Mr. Bwala because I believe Bwala’s strategy is how to get the attention and sympathy of Mr. President to give him Police cover and may be a job.

“I can describe Daniel Bwala as a failed Lawyer and empty drum making noise in Abuja. As I said, I did not want to respond, but because Bwala talked about threats or I am mobilizing Youths to attack him, which has security implications, is very sensitive.

“We have credible people in Hawul local government area, and they know who Daniel Bwala is, in fact when I saw that his message on X handle, I thought it was Inuwa Bwala who was the former Caretaker Chairman of Hawul and a renowned journalist. I quickly drew his attention to it, which he said, he was not the one.

“Later, I was made to understand that it is Daniel Bwala who has no political relevance as far as Southern Borno is concerned.

“Infact, I replied his post and said, if accusing and abusing me on Twitter or pages of Newspapers would fetch him something from Tinubu to survive after being a failed lawyer in Abuja, I will be happy for him.

“We have three former Deputy Governors from Hawul, and all of them are my ardent supporters and people I took in high esteem throughout my political surgeon. Bwala want to portray the peace loving youths as violent people. You can’t instigate Hawul people to go into political violence, because is not in their character. All I can say is that Bwala is trying to get sympathy from Mr. President” he said.The senator also emphasized that the interview he granted on Arise TV did not accuse or insult President Tinubu, but only criticized some policies, which are counter productive to average Nigerians.

    HOW FG PACIFIED LABOUR WITH PROMISES TO COMPLETE FIVE REFINERIES, PAY ARREARS

    HOW FG PACIFIED LABOUR WITH PROMISES TO COMPLETE FIVE REFINERIES, PAY ARREARS One of the promises the Federal Government made to pacify Organised Labour at yesterday’s parley was that five refineries would soon be fully functional. Also, government vowed to pay arrears of wages. These, among others, formed the core of the meeting where “they agreed that it is better to ‘jaw-jaw than war-war’.” “Meaning,” a source told Vanguard, “there will be continuous dialogue between government and labour.” Recall that Vanguard broke the story, yesterday, that leaders of Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, and their Trade Union Congress of Nigeria, TUC, counterpart were meeting with the Federal Government. However, obviously acting on agreed terms, neither the government representatives nor the labour leaders spoke with newsmen on what was discussed and agreed on at the meeting. FG’s promises A source, however, revealed to Vanguard the many promises Federal Government made to the Labour leaders. According to a reliable source: “As part of efforts at crashing transport fares across the country, the Federal Government will hold a meeting with state governors to fully embrace the CNG buses. “This will also affect the cost of foodstuffs as it will reduce the costs of transporting food items from different locations to consumers drastically.“These are parts of efforts to cushion the effects of the subsidy removal on the citizens. “The government also promised to summon a meeting of the economic council to impress it upon state governors to ensure the new minimum wage takes off across the country this month. “It also promised to incorporate labour into the economic council, so labour will participate and monitor economic policies of government, instead of government throwing policies at labour and Nigerians that may result in agitation or protest.” “The government also promised to hasten and complete the refineries. “They said almost five refineries are about to be completed,’’ another source told Vanguard last night. The sources confirmed that “government promised to pay all outstanding arrears and wage awards to workers, and inaugurate all the boards labour has representatives.” Labour pacified One of the sources said: “All these are promises, but the good thing is that it was agreed that the meeting will be a continuous process.” Asked if labour was satisfied with the meeting, the source said: “It is not about satisfaction, but a way forward from the past where government was not discussing with organised labour. ‘’If this trend or practice continues, there is every possibility that disagreements between government and labour will reduce.” Roll call The government’s representatives at the meeting were Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, the National Security Adviser, NSA; Nkeiruka Onyejeocha, Labour Minister; and Wale Edun, Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy. Others include Alhaji Mohammed Idris, Information Minister; Heineken Lokpobiri, Petroleum Resources Minister, State; Ekperikpe Ekpo, Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Gas), and representatives of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited, NNPCL. For Organised Labour were the President of NLC, Mr Joe Ajaero; Deputy President, Kabiru Ado Sani; the General Secretary, Mr Emma Ugboaja; Deputy President of the TUC, Dr. Tommy Etim Okon; the Secretary General, Nuhu Toro; and the President of the Nigeria Union of Teachers, NUT, who is also a deputy president of NLC.
