BREAKING: Daniel Bwala Blasts APC Chairman Over ‘Shameful’ Interview

Daniel Bwala has blasted the APC Chairman over what he described as a shameful and regrettable interview by him.

 

NewsOnline Nigeria reports that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s unofficial spokesperson and former spokesman for the defunct Atiku-Okowa Presidential Campaign Council, Daniel Bwala, has lampooned the acting Chairman of the Edo State All Progressives Congress, Mr. Jarret Tenebe, for saying, “Edo people can’t afford DSTV, which is why Mr. Monday Okpebholo cannot do a TV interview.”

 

Recall that the candidate of the APC and Senator representing Edo Central Senatorial District has been avoiding invitations for media interviews regarding his gubernatorial ambition, just as his party’s acting Chairman advanced reasons why the candidate won’t show up. He said Edo people can’t afford DSTV to enable them to watch the interview, and as such, Okpebholo won’t honor any media interview invitations.

But Bwala, on his X handle, lambasted Tenebe, saying, “The APC governorship campaign in Edo has to do more; so far, the narrative is ineffective. For a stakeholder to say the governorship candidate will not go to Arise TV because Edo people can’t afford DSTV is shameful and regrettable.”

 

“Edo is a rich state with reasonable economic standards and is definitely not among the states bankrupt to the point where people can’t afford DSTV.”

 

Continuing, Bwala said, “AIT, Channels TV, Arise TV, News Central, etc. are owned by businessmen who hail from Edo and Delta States; all from former Bendel State. To say that Edo people can’t afford DSTV, which is why Mr. Monday cannot do a TV interview, is bad optics.”
