Bwala is a “Mad Dog” Who Barks and Bites Even The Owner – Ndume

(iexclusivenews) – Senator Mohammed Ali Ndume, representing Borno South, has launched a scathing attack on Daniel Bwala, a former aide to Atiku Abubakar, the Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 elections.

Ali Ndume described Bwala as a political liability to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Bwala’s Political Maneuvering and Allegations of Threats and Violence

Following Tinubu’s victory in the 2023 elections, Bwala distanced himself from Atiku’s camp and aligned with the All Progressives Congress (APC), citing his disapproval of the Muslim-Muslim ticket.

Before his formal defection, Bwala had criticized Ndume for his comments on President Tinubu.

Bwala accused Ndume of planning to mobilize youths to attack him in his local government, Hawul, which falls within Ndume’s constituency.

Ndume, responding from his Maiduguri residence, dismissed Bwala’s claims, questioning Bwala’s roots in Hawul and labeling him a “mad dog” who bites even his owner.

Ndume’s Advice to President Tinubu and Reactions from Hawul Community

Ndume advised President Tinubu to be cautious of Bwala, whom he described as a failed lawyer and an empty drum making noise in Abuja.

He accused Bwala of using abusive language against Tinubu on live television and suggested that Bwala’s strategy was to gain the President’s attention and sympathy for personal gain.

Ndume emphasized that credible individuals in Hawul are aware of Bwala’s lack of political relevance in Southern Borno.

He expressed disappointment that Bwala’s accusations could portray the peace-loving youths of Hawul as violent, which is contrary to their character.

Ndume’s Stance on Tinubu’s Policies

The senator clarified that his interview on Arise TV did not insult President Tinubu but merely criticized certain policies that he deemed counterproductive to average Nigerians.

Ndume reiterated his support for Tinubu while cautioning against individuals like Bwala who seek to create discord.

This heated exchange between Ndume and Bwala highlights the intense political dynamics within Nigeria’s ruling party and the broader political landscape.

As the 2027 general elections approach, such confrontations are likely to shape the political discourse in the country.
