Daniel Bwala officially takes on the role of President Bola Tinubu’s spokesman, pledging to strengthen communication between the presidency and Nigerians.
Daniel Bwala, previously an aide to Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has taken on the role of official spokesman for President Bola Tinubu.
Remember that last week, Tinubu surprised Nigerians by appointing Bwala as his Special Adviser on Media and Public Communications at the State House.
Bwala, who took office on Monday, mentioned that he was appointed to succeed Ajuri Ngelale following his recent resignation due to health reasons.
On his first day in the office, Bwala interacted with State House correspondents and stated that he would not let critics distract him.
The recently appointed spokesperson stated that he will act as the official spokesman for President Bola Tinubu.
Bwala stated that with his appointment and designation, he succeeds Ngelale, who vacated the position in September this year.
Ngelale explained that he needed to be absent in order to address some medical issues concerning his immediate family.
Bwala stated, “I just came to introduce myself and the role assigned to me by Mr. President, which was previously held by Ajuri Ngelale.”

If you check the description of my role, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Public Communication (State House), it speaks for itself.
“The President serves as the team leader, with everyone else operating according to their directives. The position I have been appointed to was previously held by a spokesperson.”
“For goodness’ sake, we are all colleagues here. We’re not overly concerned with titles or positions; our focus is on fulfilling the mandate of Mr. President.”
The newly appointed presidential official elaborated, stating that everyone serves as assistants to the President. According to section five of the Constitution, all executive powers within the Federation are vested in the President. He fulfills his responsibilities either personally or through delegation to the Vice President and government ministers.
