We Are All Servants Of The President, Tinubu Gave Me The Role Once Occupied By Ajuri Ngelale – Daniel Bwala

The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Media and Public Communications (State House), Daniel Bwala, has said the role that was given to him by Mr President, is the role was once occupied by Ajuri Ngelale.

Bwala stated this on Monday while addressing State House correspondents in Abuja.

He stated this while clarifying the roles of the other special advisers on media and communication in Tinubu’s cabinet. According to him, there is no confusion in their job descriptions, and everyone knows his role.

Bwala submitted that his new role is not about fulfilling any personal ambition but is focused on backing the President’s administration. He also reaffirmed his dedication to the Renewed Hope Agenda of the Tinubu administration.

Commenting on the charge by Senator Ali Ndume that he should seek forgiveness from Vice President Kashim Shettima, Bwala submitted that he has a good relationship with Shettima, and they have often joked about his statement.

The presidential aide also suggested that Ndume may be having some troubled times and needs prayers.

He said, “In life, generally, you look at focus. When you are focused on a thing, you are going to be faced with distraction. Your character will be determined by how you conduct yourself in the case of carrying out the information.

“It’s about the government. It’s about the president. It’s about his administration. It’s not about Bwala and because these things have been trashed before, I don’t want to feed the negative energy that is obviously sponsored by some elements who think that by doing so, you can gaslight the President. The President is committed, and we are committed to the force of the President, so I won’t feed into that energy.

“Ordinarily I would not have responded to this issue, because when I was referred to what he said, I immediately contacted the vice president. We all cracked jokes about that. I have a very fantastic relationship with the Vice President, which even started before the judgment of the court was delivered regarding the matter.

“The relationship started, or rather became stronger, in the build-up to the emergence of leadership of the National Assembly. And since then, we’ve been having a very good relationship, but I know that the senator in question is having some troubled times, all I can say is that we need to pray for him, for God to guide and help but we are focused on the work of the President. It’s not about Bwala it’s about the president.

“What I can tell you is that, like I said, all of us are servants of the president. There is no issue as to the differences in terms of the responsibility. Everybody knows his responsibility. I am not here to define the responsibility of anybody other than myself, because it will amount to gaslighting others.

“I only came to introduce myself to you and the role that was given to me by Mr President, I told you that role was once occupied by Ajuri Ngelale but for God’s sake we are all colleagues. We are not particularly bothered about who is this who is that. We are working to achieve the mandate of Mr President.”
