President Bola Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Media and Policy Communications (State House), Daniel Bwala has taken a swipe at Arise News broadcaster, Rufai Oseni.

Bwala accused Oseni of working for the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate, Peter Obi describing the journalist as the former Anambra State governor’s unofficial spokesperson.

Bwala made the allegation in a post on his X page, where he claimed that Oseni helped draft Obi’s recent statement to President Tinubu before amplifying it on Arise News’ morning programme.

He wrote: “That tweet of @PeterObi was drafted to him by Rufai Oseni so he (Rufai) would amplify on their morning show. Check the pattern and flow as revealed to me by my sources in their camp.

“What is wrong with openly acknowledging that he is Obi’s unofficial spokesman? Hypocrites.”

This comes after Obi, in a post titled “Good Day, Mr President: Nigerians Deserve Accountability,” challenged Tinubu to account for funds saved from the removal of fuel subsidies, government borrowings and increased revenue.
