Bwala Clarifies Past Comments on Tinubu as Baseless, Not Deceptive

Presidential spokesperson Daniel Bwala has spoken out regarding his past comments about President Bola Tinubu, stating that they are no longer relevant in the current context. During an appearance on Channels Television's 'Politics Today' on Wednesday, July 22, Bwala expressed his surprise that the host, Seun Okinbaloye, continued to bring up his previous remarks about Tinubu. Bwala emphasized that these comments are now 'baseless' and inconsequential to the pressing issues affecting the nation, such as the economy, education, and security. He noted that the conversation should focus on governance and the progress made by the Tinubu administration, particularly in improving coordination among the country's security agencies. When questioned about whether describing his former comments as 'baseless' meant they were lies, Bwala drew a distinction between the two terms, stating, 'They are not lies. They are baseless. Not important for conversation.' Bwala also accused the presenter of giving undue prominence to opposition talking points, citing the example of NDC presidential candidate Peter Obi changing parties four times. He maintained that debates over his previous criticisms of Tinubu have become irrelevant and urged greater attention to the administration's policies and the issues directly affecting citizens.
