The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Policy, Daniel Bwala has said all the negative things he said about President Bola Tinubu and his administration are irrelevant.
Bwala who appeared on Arise TV’s Morning Show on Tuesday,
February 11, 2025, said he criticised the president because he was in the
opposition party.
It would be recalled that during the build-up to the 2023
presidential election, Bwala dumped the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC)
because the APC presented two Muslims, Tinubu and Kashim Shemttima as its
presidential and Vice-Presidential candidates respectively.
Bwala later joined the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and
became Atiku Abubakar’s spokesperson.
Ahead of the election, he criticised Tinubu, saying electing
him would be would be like going for a night of thousand laugh.
After the election, Bwala delegitimised Tinubu’s government,
describing it as “president-select” rather than a “president-elect,” and
further accused the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of
manipulating the election.
However, while speaking on Arise TV, Bwala, who now serves
the presidency as a media aide, said everything he said against Tinubu and his
administration are not relevant.
“I criticised Tinubu’s election and administration in the
past because I was in the opposition.
“The opposition’s work is to criticise the sitting
government and hold them accountable. My views changed after I met the
President, and he saw a need to appoint me,” he said.
Asked if he has had a change of heart about the things he
said against Tinubu, the presidential aide simply said, “They are not
relevant.”
Regardless of all his rhetoric against Tinubu, Bwala said
since he decided to work with the president, he’s been speaking well of him and
supports his activities.
