A Catholic missionary priest working in The Gambia, Fr Kelvin Ugwu, has shared his thoughts on the controversial interview with presidential aide Daniel Bwala on Al Jazeera.
In a post on his Facebook page on Wednesday, he stated that Bwala was more interested in discussing former presidential candidate Peter Obi.
Recall that Bwala recently claimed that Obi tried to approach him to join his presidential campaign, but he refused.
However, the Catholic priest said Bwala had earlier criticised Al Jazeera’s professionalism but shifted the focus to Obi during the interview with Daddy Freeze.
He asserted that the presidential aide was disappointed when he was not allowed to speak about Obi during the Al Jazeera interview.
“I just watched an interview Bwala had with Daddy Freeze. Is this the man many of you regard as intelligent? After accusing Al Jazeera of not being professional, he turned and focused on Peter Obi. Now I know, he was expecting to talk about Peter Obi with Mehdi,” Ugwu wrote.
The comment comes amid widespread reactions to Bwala’s recent appearance on the Al Jazeera programme Head to Head, where he was interviewed by Hasan.
The interview, which examined the policies and performance of President Bola Tinubu’s administration, went viral on social media and triggered mixed debate across Nigeria’s pubic spaces.
