LAGOS—Daniel Bwala, newly appointed Special Adviser on Public Communications and Media, expressed gratitude to President Bola Tinubu on social media following his appointment. In a tweet posted Thursday, Bwala described his new role as an honour and highlighted Tinubu’s leadership as a “courageous Commander-in-Chief.”

“I want to express my profound gratitude to Mr. President…for the demonstration of confidence and trust by this appointment,” Bwala tweeted, adding that he is “humbled and honored to serve” under Tinubu’s leadership. The post quickly garnered over 52,000 views as of Thursday evening, sparking a wave of mixed reactions.

While some users congratulated Bwala on the new role, others criticized his shift in political allegiance. One user, @_iOlatunde, called the appointment well-deserved, writing, “Congratulations to you, Comrade. Your appointment didn’t come as a surprise. You did merit it.”

Another user, however, questioned Bwala’s integrity, citing inconsistencies in his political stance. “How can Nigerians respect you…because of what will enter your belly and pocket?” tweeted @inspired_Qts21.

Bwala’s appointment has reignited discussions about political loyalty and pragmatism, particularly his transition from being a spokesperson for opposition leader Atiku Abubakar to serving in Tinubu’s administration. Some, like @DamilareOdulesi, saw the move as opportunistic, commenting humorously, “Hustle don pay 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.”

Nevertheless, support from other users like @_chiefagbabiaka and @Mario9jaa showed that many view Bwala’s appointment as a strategic move to foster inclusivity in Tinubu’s government. “Congratulations 🎊...Welcome to the family,” wrote @_chiefagbabiaka.

The varied reactions reflect broader sentiments within Nigeria’s political landscape, where appointments often spark debates about loyalty, ideology, and competence. Tinubu’s administration continues to emphasize a unifying approach, drawing talent from across political divides.
