Arraignment of Minors: Some people in govt subverting Tinubu- Atiku’s ex-aide

Daniel Bwala, an ex-aide to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has alleged that some persons in government are hellbent on subverting President Bola Tinubu to make him unpopular.

The statement comes amid the controversy surrounding the arraignment of the malnourished EndBadGovernance protesters.

It was reported that uproar and public outcry greeted the arraignment of protesters, mostly minors, who participated during the recent EndBadGovernance protest.

However, in a post on his X handle on Saturday, Bwala described the development as ‘totally unnecessary and bad optics for anyone involved in the entire process, from national security to law enforcement.’

He said: “The prosecution of these minors is totally unnecessary and bad optics by anyone involved in the entire process from national security, to law enforcement. Thank God the president @officialABAT intervened timeously.

“The “will” must be shown in dealing with “sponsors of” over and above “perpetrators of” These minors are human shields to the sponsors

“It seems some people in government are hellbent on subverting the president to make him unpopular by their share garrulous and incompetent behaviours.”
