The Special Adviser to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, has criticised supporters of Peter Obi, saying they view national issues from a negative perspective.
Bwala made the remarks in a post shared on his official X handle on Thursday, while reacting to a cartoon of him holding a glass of water and explaining the importance of context during a recent interview with Mendi Hasan.
He said understanding context is important when discussing politics and governance, stressing that people often interpret situations differently.
“I love this picture. Whoever did it, tried. Intellectuals know context matters when discussing issues of politics and governance. It is either you are looking at life as half full or half empty,”he wrote.
According to him, progressives believe challenges are part of the process of development.
“Progressives believe context matters, because you will be confronted with problems; no progress without process,” he said.
Bwala then took a swipe at Obi’s supporters, describing their outlook as negative.
“It is only Peter Obi and his Trojans that see everything as half empty; that is why they are disillusioned, disgruntled and confused,” he said.
He added that having a positive outlook reflects hope, while a negative one reflects pessimism.
“May your journey in life be half full rather than half empty; because half full depicts hope, while half empty depicts Obidients,” he added.
