He made this clarification on Monday during an appearance on Politics Today on Channels Television.
Daniel Bwala has claimed that he didn't lobby to be President Bola Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Media and Public Communication.
Recall that Bwala previously served as a spokesperson for the Atiku Abubakar Presidential Campaign Council.
He made the claim on Monday during an appearance on Politics Today on Channels Television.
When asked about his appointment, Bwala stated that he had no insight into why President Bola Tinubu selected him but speculated it could be linked to his prior commitment to the President’s cause during the All Progressives Congress primaries.
He said, “No, I didn’t lobby. The last time I was here, I told you when I met him (President) that I had made up my mind to support his cause.
“Since that January after I appeared on your programme, I have been doggedly pursuing that cause. Maybe he saw that and also saw the commitment in it. But it is something that the President knows I have loved, and still love when I supported him in the primaries.
“Whatever was his consideration is what I don’t know. But I know that the honour that the President bestowed on me is what I am very grateful for. I am also very committed to ensuring I don’t disappoint Mr President and the Nigerian people.”
