APC spokesperson Daniel Bwala has publicly responded to the release of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) 2027 campaign council list by Peter Obi, stirring fresh online debate. Bwala pointed out that the council appeared to be heavily populated with content creators, while accusing the group of quietly excluding their mainstream media surrogates — people he described as OAPs operating behind the scenes — from the official list.
He stated this via his X handle @BwalaDaniel on Sunday, October 25, 2026. His comments did not go down well with many Nigerians on social media, who quickly turned the tables on him.
Social Media Reactions to Bwala's Remarks
@Sowada13, tweeting under the handle bamidele, wrote: "Mr bwala you will continue to have nightmare over Peter Obi issues because you can't tell us one good thing your paymaster has done so far in this country over three(3) years now and you are busy talking about Peter Obi campaign plan."
Another user, Peter Kizito OBI (@jditimiya), shifted focus to alleged political spending within APC circles, asking: "Dan, did you see the cars Dayo is sharing to youth leaders across the country, funded by Remi. Hope one go touch your children or brothers who are supporting APC?"
@ekiti_duke was blunter in his defence of the NDC list, writing: "at least they're content creators, not a bunch of thieves with baggage full of wealth from unknown sources. Moreover, they're not Pablo Escobar-esque in nature."
Criticism of APC's Own Record
Austeen Osumah (@austeen247) redirected the content creator jibe at the ruling party itself, saying: "There's no bigger content creator right now than APC govt led by the Jagaban himself. If he's not shooting content in his Aso rock studio, then he's editing the videos in France. You have been swallowing your vomit for more than 2 years now. Can you still feel the taste?"
Others questioned why Bwala was paying attention to an opposition party's internal affairs at all. @why_saymore wrote: "Busy body! As usual NDC have given you something to talk about. You have been quiet for a while. So you can trend a bit now!" while @victorekpe8 added: "Wetin concern you and NDC. You suppose mind your own affairs in APC. Plenty things dey for you do, bro."
Allegations of Venue Denial and Allegiance
Julius Bisong (@jbisong67) raised a separate grievance, alleging that APC had refused to grant the NDC a venue for its campaign launch — an accusation he contrasted with what he described as the ruling party's own mobilisation activities in the north.
Ime Lawrence (@lettertolaw) offered a different reading of the APC's apparent preoccupation with Peter Obi: "I wonder why you guys in the APC are always interested in Peter Obi. It means love what he represents but the corn in your pocket won't let you express the love you have for him."
