The Peter Obi Media Reach (POMR) has issued a response to claims made by presidential aide, Daniel Bwala, who alleged that Peter Obi sought to engage him.
In aa statement issued by its spokesperson Ibrahim Umar, the POMR said Bwala’s claim was incorrect as his style of politics was at variance with the political leaning of the Obi movement.
The sstatement reads:
Normally, we would not dignify Barr Bwala’s baseless accusations with a reply, given his well-documented history of dishonesty. However, we feel it is necessary to address this matter for the benefit of the public, who may be misled.
Our principal, Peter Obi, has made it clear that he excludes individuals like Bwala from his political activities and any form of transactional politics that sustain people like him in political circles. The Peter Obi that Nigerians know and appreciate will never engage in such practices. He would rather allocate resources to provide desks for children in Bwala’s village than pay him to concoct falsehoods for public consumption.
Obi’s approach is rooted in the pursuit of good governance and the creation of a better society for all. He does not pay people to promote a cause; instead, he invites them to join him in believing in a shared vision.
His “engagement” focuses on persuasion, emphasizing the urgent need for a collective effort to rescue our nation. He welcomes those who choose to join him voluntarily, driven by the same deep-seated convictions.
POMR urges those involved in transactional politics to reconsider their actions—for the sake of the society they are harming and for the future of Nigerian children, which is currently at risk.
For the umpteenth time, we call on Bwala and others like him to count Peter Obi out of their greed, repent, and join us.
