The aide to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate in the 2023 elections, Atiku Abubakar, Daniel Bwala has said that President Bola Tinubu refused to nominate some of his supporters as ministers because of the European Union report.
It was recalled that the European Union Election Observation Mission had listed a former Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo and a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Femi Fani-Kayode, as propagators of fake news during the 2023 general election in Nigeria.
EU accused Keyamo and Fani-Kayode of misleading Nigerians by spreading fake news during the 2023 general elections.
The EU Observers cited instances where both APC chieftains propagated fake news while campaigning for their candidates.
Speaking on the reason Tinubu refused to nominate some of his avid supporters, Bwala opined that it was because of the EU report.
He insisted that Tinubu was very smart and did not want to get on the wrong side of the Union.
Speaking via Twitter, he wrote, “PBAT na sharp President ohh. He knows how much he values the European Union’s opinion and wants to please them. Have you not noticed that those who EU reckon as CERTIFIED MERCHANTS OF FAKE NEWS. Tinubu refused to appoint them as ministers?”
