Daniel Bwala, former aide to Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has officially resumed duties as the spokesperson for President Bola Tinubu.
Bwala’s appointment as Special Adviser on Media and Public Communications (State House) was announced last week by President Tinubu. He succeeds Ajuri Ngelale, who stepped down from the position in September due to health-related reasons.
Speaking to State House correspondents on his first day in office on Monday, Bwala affirmed his commitment to his new role, emphasizing that he would remain focused despite potential criticism.
“The position I have been appointed to was previously held by Ajuri Ngelale. My role, as Special Adviser to the President on Media and Public Communication (State House), is self-explanatory,” he said.
Bwala highlighted the collaborative nature of his office, describing all presidential aides as united in achieving the mandate of President Tinubu.
“The President is the team leader. Every other person functions as the President wishes,” he stated.
Ngelale, who served in the role before Bwala, had earlier disclosed that his resignation was prompted by the need to address health challenges within his nuclear family.
