Daniel Bwala, the Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Policy Communications, has debunked reports that he was demoted.
Bwala also disclosed that he has a good relationship with President Tinubu.
Recall that Bwala was initially appointed as the Special Adviser on Media and Public Communications to the President, but his portfolio was subsequently changed to the Special Adviser on Policy Communications.
In announcing the development, the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, disclosed that Tinubu re-designated the positions in the State House media and communications team to enhance efficiency within the government’s communication machinery.
Speaking on the development when he appeared as a guest on Monday’s edition of Politics Today on Channels Television, Bwala insisted that the change in designation is not a demotion, adding that he enjoys doing his job.
“I have never been demoted. I have an absolutely good relationship with the president, and I’m happy doing my job,” Bwala stated.
The presidential aide also noted that defending the actions and policies of the Tinubu government is one of the easiest things to do.
He identified clarity, honesty, and thorough research as tools he deploys in carrying out his assignment.
“To defend this government, in my view, is the easiest thing to do because you speak to facts, be honest with Nigerians, and then be ready to counter any negative narrative or agenda-driven narrative.
“So, once these three things are very clear to you and you have done your research, it is very easy,” he said.
