The newly appointed Special Adviser to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on Public Communication and Media, Daniel Bwala, has urged Nigerians to be optimistic about the reforms of the current administration.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Monday night, Bwala said that his principal means well for the country despite the economic hardship facing the people.
He said: “I believe the president has a good intention for Nigeria. I believe the president has demonstrated, you know, intrinsic, very strong capacity in facing the problem.
“You see, problems can be seen by everyone. The capacity to face the problem headlong is something that can only be defined by people who have character.
“I give you an example. What has been the subject of discussion up till today after almost two years was the decision the president took, you remember those economic policy decisions.
“These policy decisions since 1999 were discussed in every administration – there were plans to do it, you know. But sometimes there will be protests against it.”
Speaking over economic policies made by the President, especially the removal of subsidy, Bwala said that it was a bold step for Tinubu to make such decisions.
He said: “Nobody summoned the courage to do that. When the president came with no money in government, he felt that if we didn’t take this decision, we were going to be in problem.
“He took it. So that kind of courage, and even the courage the president exercised in appointing me against all odds, are some of the things you look at in someone and say, if he’s convinced in a course, he will give himself away.”
Recall that President Tinubu, on November 14th, approved the appointment of Mr. Bwala as Special Adviser, Media and Public Communications for the State House, a development which has led to controversy within the country.
