Ndume Speaks On Bwala’s Appointment, Ask Him To Seek Forgiveness From Shettima

The former majority leader of the Senate, Mohammed Ali Ndume, has praised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for appointing Daniel Bwala as special adviser to public communications and media.

Ndume, who represents Borno South Senatorial District—the constituency of Bwala—hailed Tinubu’s decision as a demonstration of his inclusive leadership and magnanimity.

Daniel Bwala, a prominent legal practitioner and media strategist, served as the spokesperson for the presidential campaign of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.

Speaking on the appointment, Ndume said, “I wish to commend President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for appointing Daniel Bwala as his special adviser to the President on public communication and media.

“This gesture deserves serious applause, particularly in view of the roles played by Bwala in the 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 advised Bwala to seek forgiveness from the Vice President, Kashim Shettima, whose appointment made him leave the APC because he is a Muslim.

Ndume urged Bwala to work with 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.”
