My past comments about Tinubu now baseless, not lies — Daniel Bwala

Presidential spokesman Daniel Bwala has said his past remarks against President Bola Tinubu should no longer dominate public discourse, describing them as baseless in the context of current realities while insisting they were never false. Bwala spoke on Wednesday night, July 22, during an appearance on Channels Televisions *Politics Today*, where he sparred with anchor Seun Okinbaloye over comments he made about Tinubu before joining the administration. The presidential aide expressed surprise that the presenter continued to revisit his previous statements instead of discussing pressing issues affecting the nation. The first person that started asking me this question was you, and you have done that more than five times. Are you not tired? They are completely inconsequential to what is happening. He argued that the conversation should have centred on governance, including the economy, education, security, and a letter purportedly sent by United States President Donald Trump commending Tinubus security efforts. We have taken almost 10 minutes on this. Nigerian people want to hear tonight what is happening to their lives. They want to know what is happening with their economy, with their education, and most importantly, with security. According to Bwala, the Tinubu administration has made notable progress, particularly by improving coordination among the countrys security agencies. He noted that it is the first time in Nigerias history that leadership has brought about such strong collaboration across the security sector. When Okinbaloye asked whether describing his former comments as baseless meant they were lies, Bwala drew a clear distinction between the two terms.They are not lies. They are baseless. Not important for conversation. Bwala also accused the presenter of giving prominence to opposition talking points while overlooking similar issues involving opposition politicians, pointing to NDC presidential candidate , Peter Obi changing parties four times as an example.He maintained that debates over his previous criticisms of Tinubu have become irrelevant, urging greater attention to the administrations policies and the issues directly affecting citizens. The post My past comments about Tinubu now baseless, not lies Daniel Bwala appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
