President Tinubu Downgrades Daniel Bwala’s Role After He Declared Himself Official Spokesman

Hours after Daniel Bwala declared himself as the official spokesman of President Bola Tinubu, the Presidency has downgraded his role.

At his first briefing in the State House, Presidential Villa, Abuja, Bwala told journalists he is the president’s official spokesman.

A few hours later, Special Adviser Information and Strategy to President Tinubu, Bayo Onanuga, released a statement tweaking Bwala’s role.

Part of the statement read: “President Bola Tinubu has re-designated the positions of two recently appointed officials in the State House media and communications team to enhance efficiency within the government’s communication machinery.

“The restructuring is as follows: Mr. Sunday Dare – hitherto Special Adviser on Public Communication and National Orientation is now Special Adviser, Media and Public Communications.

“Mr. Daniel Bwala announced last week as Special Adviser, Media and Public Communication, and is now Special Adviser Policy Communication.

“These appointments, along with the existing role of Special Adviser, Information and Strategy, underscore that there is no single individual spokesperson for the Presidency.

“Instead, all the three Special Advisers will collectively serve as spokespersons for the government.”

Recall that in September, Ajuri Ngelale stepped down as the Special Adviser to the President on Media & Publicity.
