Lawmaker Criticizes Tinubu's Aide Over Comments on Governor Wike's Compensation

A member of the House of Representatives strongly criticizes a statement made by Daniel Bwala, a special adviser to Bola Tinubu, regarding Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State. Bwala's comments on a televised program implied that Wike had been compensated by the current administration, which led to a strong reaction from Siminalayi Fubara, a government official.

The lawmaker defended Wike's performance, highlighting his contributions to the Federal Capital Territory Administration's Treasury Single Account. The lawmaker also pointed out that even former President Muhammadu Buhari recognized Wike's achievements.

The criticism centered on Bwala's insinuations about Wike undermining Fubara's administration and his motivations ahead of the 2023 presidential elections. The lawmaker urged presidential aides to focus on official responsibilities rather than engaging in personal sentiments or political implications.
