Atiku’s aide, Bwala, claims ‘some key people’ want to level trumped-up allegations against him

PDP chieftain Daniel Bwala has sounded an alarm on Monday, alleging that senior figures at the Presidential Villa in Abuja were preparing to have him arrested on false charges.

Bwala, was a former lawmaker of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, before he joined the PDP at the build-up of the 2023 general elections.

The allegation was contained in a post he made on his social media platform X on Monday.

Bwala claimed that several influential figures close to the seat of power intended to have him arrested by security forces in order to discredit and silence him because he was upsetting the current administration led by President Bola Tinubu.

He wrote, “Last night I got credible intelligence that some key people around the seat of power (Presidential Aso Villa) of this government are planning to use the security agencies to arrest me and take me into custody on trumped-up allegations in order to rubbish me and silence me.

“That I am making them and the government uncomfortable. Let the world know today that I have always known that from my stands on the same faith ticket which led to my leaving APC, and consequent posture as a political opposition, it might irk the deep state and come with persecution for what I believe in and stand for.

“If anything happens to me, let the world know today of their evil plans.”
