‘We Are Working To Achieve Mr. President’s Mandate’- Bwala Says, Assumes Office As Tinubu’s Official Spokesman
Daniel Bwala, a former Aide to Vice President Atiku Abubakar has spoken on his first day at work as President Bola Tinubu’s official spokesman.
Last week, Tinubu had wowed Nigerians when he declared Bwala as his Special Adviser on Media and Public Communications(State House).
Speaking on Monday, Bwala, expressed that he was appointed to replace Ajuri Ngelale, who resigned recently on health grounds.
He, however, noted that focus is important and for him and others their duty is to fulfill the mandate of President Tinubu.
Ngelale who stepped down in September, 2024 had explained that he needed to stay away to deal with medical matters affecting his nuclear family.
Bwala said, “I only came to introduce myself to you and the role that was given to me by Mr. President, and I told you that role was once occupied by Ajuri Ngelale.
“If you look at the the description of my responsibility, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Public Communication (State House). So, that is self explanatory.
“The President is the team leader. Every other person functions as the President wishes, and the position I have been appointed into, the last person who occupied it was a spokesman.
“But for God’s sake, we are all colleagues. We are not particularly bothered about who is this, who is that. We are working to achieve the mandate of Mr. President.”
While giving further explanation, the new presidential appointee said, “All of us are servants and aides to the President. Section five of the Constitution rests the executive powers of the Federation in the President, and he carries out his duty either by himself, through the Vice President or the ministers of the Government of the Federation.”
