He made the statement while discussing the presidential election petition tribunal case in which Atiku is contesting Tinubu’s designation as the winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Arise TV.
When questioned about the allegations of electoral fraud against the PDP during the broadcast, Bwala claimed that while the APC has not apologized to Nigerians for its errors, the PDP has.
He said, “PDP has over the years admitted that they made so many mistakes. I remember Secondus one time when he became the chairman of the party taking a campaign across the country to tell Nigerians that PDP is sorry. Has APC ever said “We are sorry”?
“This is a party that wants to make lies a statecraft. They announced that the president-elect was traveling on an official visit where he’ll meet with investors, where he’ll do this and that. How many days has he been away? We haven’t seen a picture of him alighting from a plane or investors receiving him.”
