Bola Tinubu has approved the appointment of Daniel Bwala as Special Adviser on Media and Public Communications (State House).
The announcement was made on Thursday by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy.
Bwala, a former aide to ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the 2023 election, was actively involved in Atiku’s campaign. However, after the election, Bwala transitioned to Tinubu’s team, which stirred some controversy.
