Daniel Bwala, the former spokesman for Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) candidate in the February 2023 presidential election, has affirmed his commitment to supporting President Bola Tinubu’s agenda for Nigeria. In an interview on Channels Television on Sunday, Bwala, who recently aligned himself with the All Progressives Congress (APC) government after meeting with President Tinubu, expressed his readiness to accept any position that would contribute to advancing the President’s agenda.
Bwala emphasized that his willingness to accept a position was not driven by a quest for personal appointments but rather by a genuine desire to contribute to the development of President Tinubu’s vision for the country. He cited his eight years of support for President Buhari without holding a public office as an example of his commitment to causes beyond personal gain.
Clarifying that President Tinubu had not promised him any specific position, Bwala underscored the importance of individuals contributing based on their perceived value and the positive impact they can bring to the agenda, rather than focusing on personal appointments. He differentiated between those merely seeking appointments and individuals, like himself, who prioritize contributing value irrespective of official roles.
Bwala’s public declaration of support for President Tinubu and his openness to accepting a role underscores the dynamics of political realignment and the evolving landscape of alliances within the Nigerian political sphere. The focus on contributing value without the assurance of official appointments aligns with Bwala’s commitment to principled engagement in national development.
