Bwala only ridicule the people of Nigeria who can take insults and live with it. In an ideal society, people would have been calling for his removal by now. Unfortunately, no one is speaking about Bwala's attitude to the question.
Daniel Bwala calling the question “baseless” is almost more embarrassing than simply admitting he does not know.
The question was straightforward: which primary and secondary schools did President Bola Tinubu attend?
If a presidential spokesman, political defender or senior ally cannot answer such a basic biographical question about the man he spends his time defending, then Nigerians are entitled to laugh.
Not because school history alone determines competence, but because transparency matters.
Tinubu has occupied public life for decades. He has been governor, senator, party leader and now President. Yet questions around parts of his personal history continue to generate controversy, and instead of providing simple, verifiable answers, his defenders often become defensive.
That is where Bwala made things worse.
A “baseless question” is one with no relevance or foundation.
Asking about the educational history of a sitting President is neither.
If the answer exists, give it.
Name the primary school.
Name the secondary school.
Provide the dates.
End the argument.
But when a simple question produces irritation instead of information, suspicion naturally grows.
APC cannot spend years demanding credentials, records and accountability from opponents, then suddenly decide biography is irrelevant when the spotlight turns toward Tinubu.
And Bwala should know better.
If you are going to defend a President this aggressively, at least know the basic chapters of his story.
Otherwise, you are not defending him.
You are advertising the unanswered questions.
BREAKING: Umahi admits Peter Obi was right and apologises to Nigerians over the terrible state of the roads.
This is the exact same road you people viciously attacked Peter Obi for complaining about. The same road you challenged him to a debate over when he raised the issue. And now you’re publicly apologising for it today.
UMAHI IS NOW AN OBIDIENT 😎
Dear Nigerians,
Your federal roads are in a terrible state.
There are no functional interstate roads.
Major highways have become an eyesore.
This is the major reason for insecurity, low productivity, & skyrocketing food inflation.
Umahi would rather play politics & chase little girls. He’d rather abuse Obi than get to work.
The ₦15 trillion wasted on the Lagos-Calabar coastal white elephant project would have fixed all the dilapidated federal roads across Nigeria.
All the governors promising millions of votes are stupid. What did you do with subsidy savings?
What is wrong with these guys? If Tinubu as President of Nigeria and Minister Wike of FCT or Police cannot deal with this Samuel Shekwolo, then, they have a hand about those statements. Things don't happen in a vacuum. There is no democracy without freedom of choice.
“Mr. Peter Obi of the NDC is arguably the most popular candidate in the 2027 presidential race. Why can’t you all come together for the greater good?”
— Lawyer questions ADC Vice-Presidential Candidate, Rotimi Amaechi, during today’s conference.
If Peter Obi truly said, “Nobody knows the qualifications required to be Nigerian President,” then that statement deserves serious scrutiny.
Because Nigeria’s Constitution is not silent on who is qualified to contest for President.
There are clearly stated constitutional requirements covering citizenship, age, political-party sponsorship and educational qualification.
So the real question is not whether “nobody knows.”
The real question is: does a man seeking to lead Nigeria understand the constitutional framework governing the very office he wants to occupy?
This is where leadership must go beyond popularity, emotional appeal and social-media enthusiasm.
A presidential candidate should understand the Constitution.
He should understand the powers of the office.
He should understand the limits of the office.
He should understand the qualifications for seeking that office.
Nigeria is too complicated to be governed by vibes.
The presidency is not an experiment.
It is an institution governed by law.
Peter Obi’s supporters may defend the statement as context, humour or rhetoric, and that context should be considered. But if the statement is being presented literally, then Nigerians are entitled to ask uncomfortable questions.
Before anyone asks for the keys to Aso Rock, Nigerians should first ask:
Does he understand the constitutional door he is trying to enter?
2027 should be about competence, preparation, constitutional literacy and capacity.
Not just popularity.
Recall it is the turn of the South to produce the next president of Nigeria. Based on the gentleman's agreement, direct your advice to Atiku to withdraw from the race. Atiku is acting as a catalyst right now. Nigerians are begging him to do the right. Nobody wants Tinubu again.
Dear @PeterObi,
This is a personal appeal from genuine Nigerians who want this country to work.
Your base is real. The energy is real. The 6.1 million votes in 2023 were real. No serious person denies that.
But the arithmetic is also real.
In 2023, you got 6.1 million.
@atiku got 6.9 million.
@officialABAT got 8.8 million.
The combined opposition votes were higher than Tinubu’s. That is the simple, stubborn fact. When those votes are split, the incumbent wins. When they are consolidated, the incumbent is in real trouble. Your continued run does not weaken Tinubu, it protects him. That is not emotion. That is mathematics.
Structure still decides Nigerian elections. Popularity without the machinery to convert it on election day, and without a clear path to force a united challenge, becomes a gift to the sitting government. The legal uncertainty around your current platform only adds to the risk.
We are not asking you to disappear. We are asking you to put Nigeria first while there is still time.
Do not be afraid of the mob. The loudest voices are not always the wisest, and they will not live with the consequences the way ordinary Nigerians will. Leadership sometimes means disappointing your own supporters for the larger good.
Withdraw from the 2027 race. Join forces with those who actually have the structure to match the ruling party’s machinery. Let us save Nigeria together, not as parallel movements that cancel each other out, but as one serious challenge that can actually remove Tinubu.
Reality over emotions.
Arithmetic over sentiment.
Nigeria over personal ambition.
The window is closing.
PLEASE ACTIVATE THE REASONING BUTTON of your BRAIN before you believe any of these 16 promises by any bourgeoisie politician.
1.I will NEVER change my political party.
2.I will only serve ONE TERM.
3.I will will RESTRUCTURE Nigeria.
4.I will NEVER FAVOUR people of my ethnic and religious group above others.
5.I will NEVER deal with IMF and World Bank.
6.I will NEVER borrow.
7.I will NEVER bow to Western Interests.
8.I will restore subsidy.
9.I will NEVER increase taxes.
10.I will make Naira equal to dollar.
11.I will allow the National Assembly to elect their leaders without interference.
12.I will sell off Presidential fleet and fly commercial.
13.I will never temper with the freedom of speech.
14.I will never privatise public assets.
https://t.co/9ClnTPfRrl will be free at ALL LEVELS.
16.I Will CUT the cost of Governance.
You invited Kenneth Okonkwo, Atiku's spokesman to your podcast.
You also invited Daniel Bwala, Tinubu's spokesman.
E reach Peter Obi's turn, you say he must come by himself.
No be see finish be that?
Sometimes, I am forced to blame Peter Obi for being too accessible and not behaving like people in the same position with him.
Imagine the audacity to set Peter Obi up for dragging because he refused to honour the invitation to appear in your podcast, not even a normal media house.
Una don too see the man finish and I blame him for that.
One candidate just did a world content creation press conference with empty rhetorics and unconvincing statements speaking to few recognizable media outlets and many unrecognizable fake news “tags on the mics.”
He missed the opportunity to define his vision and mission; he was sounding like he is INEC setting the rules of engagement.
The truth is you cannot give what you don’t have.
To them everything g is about content creation.
Going to thank a president for winning an election is undemocratic. Nigerians should stop it. Adeleke was not appointed by Tinubu. Adeleke should be thanking the Osun people and not Aso Rock placeholder.
Let's do the right thing for our democracy to thrive.
With two failed marriages, she claimed it was a good idea to date a man with three wives. With her level of education, she wasn't dating illiterate MC for money. What else was she dating an illiterate married man for? She needs to hear more background noise to avoid gaslighting.
MC Oluomo taught me not to give gatekeepers ₦5K or ₦10K; he gives area boys ₦200K each. When we were dating, he would bring provisions, goats and snails to my house in a Hilux” — Ehi Ogbebor
“I saw one of my opponents say he will bring back the fuel subsidy. That is a serious display of ignørance about governance and economics.” — President Tinubu responds to Atiku Abubakar after he said he would bring back the fuel subsidy if elected.
Politicians should behave in the 2027 general election. Be aware you have no place to hide outside Nigeria. SA is kicking Nigerians out. UK, Canada and America are doing the same thing. Other countries will not accept your bad behaviour. You no longer have a place to hide.
If you want to consolidate suffering, hopelessness, criminality, unaccountability, bullying and high cost of living, vote for Tinubu.
If you want a government that works, creates jobs, accountable to the people, reduce consumption and increase production, vote for Peter Obi.
Please, can you also invite Ahmed Tinubu and Atiku? Let the invite be sent alphabetically by last names.
Media cannot continue to shield some aspirants while others get burnt by responses to questions.
AN OPEN LETTER TO MR. PETER OBI
Dear H.E. Mr. Peter Obi
I have decided to make this invitation publicly, not to put you under pressure, but because I genuinely do not know if the previous invitations we sent ever reached you.
We have written to you on more than one occasion requesting an interview on KaaTruths Podcast.
The most recent letter was delivered through Mama P on the day you and I both spoke at The David and Goliath Conference, organised by Rev. Father Oluoma.
Whether that letter eventually got to you, I honestly cannot say.
So today, I am trying another route.
Sir, I would like to invite you to KaaTruths for a conversation.
I say this as someone who personally believes that, among the political choices currently before Nigeria, your presidency offers what I consider the most compelling possibility for the country.
But that belief does not mean I have no questions.
In fact, it is precisely because I take your candidacy seriously that I believe some questions must be asked.
I have watched many of your interviews across different platforms, and with the greatest respect to my colleagues in the media, I have noticed something: we seem to keep asking you the same questions.
The platforms change.
The interviewers change.
But many of the questions remain the same.
There are deeper questions I believe Nigerians deserve to hear you answer.
Questions about your ideas.
Questions about your record.
Questions about your plans.
Questions about some of the criticisms against you.
Questions about the political realities of actually governing Nigeria.
And perhaps most importantly, questions that millions of Nigerians who have already decided that you are their preferred choice may never think to ask but should hear answered before entrusting anyone with the presidency of this country.
I don’t want to interview you merely to hear again why you believe Nigeria must move from consumption to production. Nigerians already know that.
I want to have the conversation that goes beyond the talking points.
A respectful conversation, certainly.
But also an intelligent, rigorous and unfiltered one.
If we truly believe that you represent a different kind of politics, then I believe you should also be subjected to a different kind of conversation, one that gives Nigerians the opportunity to examine not merely the popularity of Peter Obi, but the ideas, character, competence and preparedness of the man asking them to entrust him with their country.
KaaTruths has grown into one of the most talked-about podcast platforms in Nigeria today. Our conversations dominate social media discussions and have increasingly become materials for analysis and debate even on television.
Across our platforms, we currently reach a minimum of 45 million people every month.
But numbers are not the most important reason I believe this conversation should happen.
Trust is.
We have built an audience that expects us to ask the questions others may avoid and to allow our guests enough room to explain themselves without unnecessary hostility, sensationalism or predetermined conclusions.
That is exactly the conversation I am inviting you to have.
No ambush.
No propaganda.
No worship.
Just questions, answers and Nigerians listening.
Sir, I strongly believe that you represent the kind of political leadership Nigeria desperately needs at this point in its history.
But conviction should never be afraid of scrutiny.
If anything, scrutiny is how conviction becomes stronger.
So, sir, if this open letter finds its way to you, I respectfully ask that you grant KaaTruths the opportunity to sit with you.
Give us the opportunity to ask the questions.
And give Nigerians the opportunity to hear your answers.
My personal email is [email protected].
We will be honoured to host you.
