The President Has The Right To Command Me To Come See Him- Okonkwo Reacts To Bwala’s Visit To Tinubu

A chieftain of the Labour Party and spokesperson for the Obi/Datti presidential campaign council has recently reacted to Daniel Bwala’s visit to the Aso Villa to meet with the President on Wednesday.

In an interview with Channels TV Sunrise Daily, Okonkwo pointed out that the President, being the Commander-in-Chief and most prominent citizen of the country, has the right to call on whoever he wishes including himself (Okonkwo) to visit him at the presidential villa; however, Daniel Bwala should have minded his choice of words and not lauded the president of another party while he belonged to the PDP.

Further, he added that Bwala has sycophantically made a 360-degree turn on all the principles he said to have possessed by showing interest in defecting back to the APC.

Recall that the PDP spokesman, in a statement to the press, noted that if supporting the president would bring him back to the APC, then so be it.

According to Okonkwo, while reacting to this, “after seeing the picture he snapped with Tinubu, I think that in Nigeria everybody is a suspect, including me; it’s just that I haven’t had enough evidence to convict myself.

There’s nothing wrong with seeing the president, but there’s something wrong when you sycophantically make a 360-degree view of all the principles you hold.

The president is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, and he has the right to command me to come see him.

I do not have a choice in that, but I have a choice in what I’m going to say after I’ve finished seeing him.”
