Former Senate Majority Leader Ali Ndume has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for appointing Daniel Bwala as Special Adviser on Public Communications and Media.
He urged Bwala to seek forgiveness from Vice President Kashim Shettima “whose appointment made him to leave APC because he is a Muslim.”
Ndume, who represents Borno South where Bwala hails from, in a statement in Abuja, noted that Tinubu has demonstrated that he is a leader with large heart with the appointment.
Bwala served as the spokesman of the former Vice President Atiku Abubakar during the 2023 President election campaigns.
“I wish to commend President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for appointing Daniel Bwala as his special adviser on public communication and media.
“This gesture deserves serious applause particularly in view of the roles played by Bwala in recent past.
“Bwala’s appointment is a rare demonstration of large heartedness in leadership, a quality that is difficult to find in many leaders today,” Ndume said.
Bwala was recently appointed by Tinubu to serve as Special Adviser to the President on Public Communication and Media.
Ndume urged Bwala to “Work with him (the Vice President) closely too as your second Principal to promote the Renewed Hope Agenda of Mr President.
“You should also learn from Sunday Dare and Onanuga who are long and loyal associates of Tinubu who always defend the policies of Mr President without being abusive and offensive.
“You should also learn from the likes of Hadiza Bala and Nuhu Ribadu (NSA) who defend and market Tinubu’s policies backed by facts and figures.
“Finally you should also link up with our people at the grassroots because charity begins from home.
“Finally I wish you success in your new assignment,” the lawmaker added.
