Daniel Bwala, a presidential campaign spokesperson for Atiku Abubakar during the 2023 elections, says he informed Atiku before his meeting with President Bola Tinubu.
Newsdirect reported how Bwala recently met with President Tinubu in a closed-door meeting, after he declared his readiness to work with the Tinubu-led administration.
Bwala said, if supporting Tinubu meant joining the All Progressives Congress (APC), he was ready to join the party and dump the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Speaking on Channels Television's Sunday Politics programme, Bwala said: "I informed Atiku Abubakar I was going to see the President. After I had seen the President, I informed him (Atiku) that I had just seen the President and he replied, 'Thanks Daniel for notifying me'."
The lawyer said his decision to now support the current administration does not mean he betrayed Atiku.
"It's absolute nonsense for somebody to say because I said I will support President Bola Tinubu therefore I betrayed Atiku," he said.
While Bwala refrained from stating his current party affiliation, he made it clear that Tinubu did not promise him any cabinet appointments during their meeting.
The legal practitioner was one of those who defected from APC after the party unveiled a Muslim-Muslim ticket for the 2023 presidential election.
