Daniel Bwala Undergoes Surgery After Controversial Interview

Daniel Bwala, serving as a special adviser to President Bola Tinubu, disclosed that he underwent throat surgery just days after his interview with journalist Mehdi Hasan on Al Jazeera. During his appearance on the program "60 Minutes," Bwala addressed the backlash he received following the interview, which was criticized by netizens and political opponents.

The interview focused on past criticisms of Tinubu's administration, and Bwala defended his performance, describing Hasan's questioning style as oppositional. He noted that he had cautioned Hasan against persistently pursuing certain lines of questioning, emphasizing that the purpose of the interview was not to dwell on past criticisms.

The immediate online reaction to the interview was one of embarrassment for Bwala, as many critics took to social media to express their discontent with his responses.
