Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser on Policy Communication to President Bola Tinubu, has claimed that social commentator Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, shows greater compassion than former presidential aspirant Peter Obi.
Bwala made this comment while referring to Obi as a politician who lacks a stable political base.
He shared these views during an appearance on Politics Today aired on Channels Television, as he dismissed Obi’s criticism of Tinubu for not visiting Yelewata in Guma Local Government Area of Benue State after the recent violent incidents there.
According to Bwala: “VeryDarkMan has more empathy than Peter Obi, his not a politician but he was in Benue. Why does he have to wait until he becomes president before he gets to Benue? Empathy is personal.
“One thing about leadership is that you have so many things and you have to prioritize them. If the president were to be physically in Yelewata, would it have made the difference that he was in Benue?
“Some of this rhetoric of Peter Obi and the opposition is neither here nor there. They lack basic things to talk about.
“If he was not in Benue they would say he was not in Benue, now he went to Benue, why didn’t he go to Yelewata? The shifting of goal post is one of the elements you will find in these internally displaced politicians.
“How many of them gasping for power now, who among them have gone there?
“Peter Obi was talking about the president commissioning something instead of going to where people died, if he understands institutions of the presidency, if he understands leadership or even knows the constitution of Nigeria, he would know that under Section 5, the president exercises that power through the Vice President, ministers, agency heads, and government of the Federation.
“The NSA has been going to all these places where there are crisis, the military officers have been going to all these places where there are crisis, the intelligence officers have been going to all these places where there are crisis.
“These individuals are Representatives of Mr President, except he doesn’t know what section 5 is.”
