Bwala Declares Past Criticisms of Tinubu "Baseless"

On Wednesday, Daniel Bwala, the presidential spokesman for President Bola Tinubu, asserted during a discussion on Channels Television's Politics Today that his earlier criticisms of Tinubu have become "baseless" and irrelevant. This statement came during a tense exchange with host Seun Okinbaloye, who repeatedly questioned Bwala about his past remarks made before joining the Tinubu administration.

Bwala expressed frustration over the focus on his previous comments, arguing that such discussions detract from pressing national issues like the economy, education, and security. He maintained that the Tinubu administration has made significant progress, particularly in enhancing collaboration among security agencies.

When pressed by Okinbaloye on whether calling his past comments "baseless" implied they were lies, Bwala clarified that they were not lies but rather inconsequential to current conversations. He criticized the media for not applying the same scrutiny to opposition figures and urged a shift in focus to the realities affecting Nigerians today.
