The Special Adviser to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, has revealed that the president made early efforts to reach out to opposition leaders, including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, shortly after assuming office.
He made this claim while speaking on Symfoni TV on Saturday.
Bwala said emissaries were sent to Atiku’s residence in an attempt to initiate dialogue, but the effort was reportedly unsuccessful.
According to him, “When President Tinubu took the oath of office, by the time I was still with Atiku, I can tell you this because I was close to Atiku, envoys from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu were sent to meet Atiku Abubakar.”
He further alleged that the delegation was not granted access.
“They came to the gates of Atiku, but Atiku ordered that the gate should not be opened to them,” he said.
“Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu made the effort. Do you know how many times Kwankwaso has seen the President until recently?” he stated.
