The Special Adviser to the President on Public Communications and Media, Daniel Bwala, has appreciated President Bola Tinubu for his appointment.
Chronicle NG reports that Tinubu on Thursday appointed Bwala, the spokesperson for the Atiku Abubakar campaign in 2023, as his special adviser on public communications and media.
This was announced by Bayo Onanuga, special adviser to the president on information and strategy, in a statement on Thursday.
Speaking on his appointment in a statement on X on Thursday, Bwala appreciated the president for having “confidence and trust” in him.
Describing the president as a “father,” he mentioned that it is an honour to work and serve Nigeria in that capacity.
His statement reads, ”I want to express my profound gratitude to Mr. President @officialABAT for the demonstration of confidence and trust by this appointment.” I am indeed humbled and honoured to be called to serve our dear nation under the esteemed leadership of a courageous C-in-C and father.”
In the buildup to the 2023 elections, Bwala dumped the All Progressives Congress (APC) to join the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The lawyer had said that he was committed to supporting Tinubu’s administration to succeed.
However, during a visit to the president, the lawyer said if supporting the president would take him back to the APC, “so be it.”
