However defending himself on national TV, Bwala said most of the attacks against him were being sponsored.

“I am not the only subject of the decision of the President that touched on people, probably APC and the rest.

“You have practically interviewed me eight years before the election, consistently defending APC as an APC member. My credential is in your hand.

I am not like a newcomer. I have only been away for like seven months but everything is ‘Bwala Bwala’. They have their reasons but some of those things are sponsored,” he said.
