Daniel Bwala, an ally of Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the last election, has lauded President Bola Tinubu’s leadership ability.
Politics Nigeria reports that Bwala, one of Tinubu’s critics during the buildup to the 2023 elections, recently had a private meeting with the president at the State House.
Addressing journalists after the meeting, Bwala described Tinubu as his motivation and pledged to support the All Progressives Congress (APC) administration.
In a tweet via his X (Twitter) handle on Thursday, January 18, Bwala extolled Tinubu’s leadership skill and his uncanny knack for competence, loyalty and dedication.
The trained lawyer further likened Tinubu to former American president, Abraham Lincoln.
He wrote: “He values competence, loyalty and dedication. He looks beyond primordial sentiments, he recognizes the difference between politics and collaboration for the good of the country. To him, the country comes first: to every patriot the country should come first. @officialABAT adopts the Abraham Lincoln Style of leadership; country first.
“If you want to understand him, read the book ‘Lincoln on Leadership; executive strategies for tough times’,” Bwala advised.
