Former spokesperson for Atiku Abubakar’s 2023 presidential campaign, Segun Sowunmi, has said that President Bola Tinubu is smarter than Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi. He recently said that his meeting with Tinubu should not be interpreted as a betrayal of his political affiliation with Atiku.
Speaking during an appearance on Channels Television’s “Politics Today,” Sowunmi, who declared his political independence on the show, reiterated that he is not tied to any politician.
According to him, he never had to tell Atiku before meeting Tinubu because he is at liberty to make decisions for himself as an adult.
“I am at liberty as an adult to take decisions. I am not tied to anybody. I am not anti-Tinubu. I own my mouth, I own my words, and I own my arguments,” he said.

The former governorship aspirant in Ogun noted that the difference between the president and his political rivals is his intelligence.
He stated that BAT does not have a single approach to dealing with everybody, and that is the reason he has remained relevant as a Nigerian politician for several years.
“Do you know the difference between Bola and them? He doesn’t have one approach to dealing with everybody. By miles, he (Tinubu) is smarter than them. He is smarter than Peter Obi, he is smarter than them,” he added.
On his reason for visiting Tinubu, Sowunmi shared that he has a deep relationship with the president because he has known him since 1994.
He confirmed that he visited the president to discuss and understand why opposition parties blame his government for their crises.
