Speaking on the background of the development, Bwala disclosed that the PDP is interested in the case solely because Tinubu is contesting against Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the umbrella party.
Bwala said it has come upon the PDP to speak with the media on the matter, join issues and roll out the fact to the public.

He noted that though the development happened 30 years ago it does not matter even if it is 100 years, adding that anyone vying for political office must subject themselves to public scrutiny.
His statement reads in part:
“The reason is that the man who will become the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria must be somebody whom the Nation has an idea of his life from when it started to where he's today, so he does not become an object of blackmail or a National security threat.''
