President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has restructured the State House media and communications team, appointing Sunday Dare, Daniel Bwala to join Bayo Onanuga as official spokespersons for his administration.

In a recent announcement, Sunday Dare, former Minister of Sports and Youth Development under the Buhari administration, was appointed as the Special Adviser on Public Communication and National Orientation. Meanwhile, Daniel Bwala, who previously served as a spokesperson for Atiku Abubakar’s 2023 presidential campaign, was also added to the communications team. Bwala’s appointment, met with mixed reactions, was initially for the role of Special Adviser, Media and Public Communication. However, he has now been reassigned as Special Adviser on Policy Communication, while Dare’s designation has been updated to Special Adviser, Media and Public Communications.

Bayo Onanuga in a statement made available on Monday night, explained that, with these appointments, the Presidency now has a collective spokesperson approach rather than a single spokesperson, ensuring consistent and effective communication on government policies, decisions, and public engagements.
