Following the threat by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, to revoke land titles and demolish all structures not in tandem with the Abuja masterplan, Daniel Bwala has warned that President Bola Tinubu may be forced to sacrifice him if he jeopardises the president’s interests.
The legal practitioner who served as one of the campaign spokespersons to the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, in the last election, said in a post on Monday on his X account, @BwalaDaniel, that the former Rivers State governor was bullish, accusing him of coming to the office with vendetta spirit.
In the post, he titled “To whom it may concern,” Bwala reminded him that what the residents of the FCT need are basic infrastructure, healthcare, and security, among others.

THE presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 presidential election, Peter Obi on Monday stormed Benin City, the Edo State capital ahead of the September 2 local government election in Edo State where he said that the development of any country is domiciled in the local government areas which he said is the nearest tier of government to the people.
He said governments at all levels must account for public money because people are “hungry, suffering and dying across Nigeria.”
Obi said: “Local government is the nearest to the people and it is supposed to be the root for ensuring development for the people.The three most critical areas of development are health, education and poverty eradication.
“So, for the system to work, for a country to develop well, it is the local government as everything that has to do with development is domiciled in the local government.
“”That is why it is critical to our development and sustainability .As a governor, I was prevented by host of legal and litigations from conducting local government elections for over six years
“So, we are here today to support our candidates in the forthcoming local government elections in Edo state. We will support them with everything”, he said.

The Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Dele Alake says he was assigned the portfolio by President Bola Tinubu because of the sensitive position of the sector to economic renewal.
Alake disclosed this on Monday while briefing newsmen after the inauguration of 45 new ministers at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja
The minister said he specifically asked the President to assign the ministry to him contrary to the general perception that he would be given a particular portfolio.
Alake said the much talked about portfolio speculated for him was not necessarily tailored for only him.
‘’I heard about that matter since the beginning of this administration when I was given the position of Special Adviser on Special Duties, Communication and Strategy.
