Tinubu removes Bwala as SA media and public communications, reassigns new role

President Bola Tinubu has removed Daniel Bwala as Special Adviser on Media and Public Communication.

Bwala now serves as Special Adviser on Policy Communication.

Similarly, Sunday Dare, previously appointed as Special Adviser on Public Communication and National Orientation, has been reassigned as Special Adviser on Media and Public Communications.

These changes align with Tinubu’s efforts to improve the efficiency of his media and communications team.

The trio of Sunday Dare, Daniel Bwala, and Bayo Onanuga—who remains Special Adviser on Information and Strategy—will function as collective spokespersons for the presidency.

This reshuffling came shortly after Bwala declared himself as presidential spokesperson, replacing Ajuri Ngelale who resigned in September.

Bwala said on Monday:

 “There is no issue as to the differences in terms of the responsibility; everybody knows his responsibility.

“I only came to introduce myself to you and the role that was given to me by Mr. President. I told you that role was once occupied by Ajuri Ngelale. But for God’s sake, we are all colleagues.

“We are not particularly bothered about who is this who is that. We are working to achieve the mandate of Mr. President.”
