Daniel Bwala, a former spokesperson for the Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Organisation, said he is committed to working for President Bola Tinubu and has no apologies for doing so.

Mr Bwala, who now appears to have defected from opposition leader, Atiku Abubakar, disclosed this to State House Correspondents in Abuja after visiting President Tinubu on Wednesday.

He said he has of recent been expressing support for the president’s decisions regardless of his political affiliation.

“In the last few days, I have been expressing my surprise and appreciation to the president for the decisions he is taking. So this is not about political party. And you need to know that like I said, I was with him before I left.

“And I was doggedly committed to him. I told him today that ‘I am committing to play my part to support your administration’, and I have no apologies to anybody,” he said.

Mr Bwala was a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) before defecting to the PDP where he was appointed a spokesperson for the Atiku Abubakar campaign in the 2023 election.

After be left the APC over the Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket of the party in the 2023 elections, Mr Bwala became one of the most vociferous critics of Mr Tinubu and his party.

He was constant on television and on social media pummelling the ruling party and its officials and attacking the policies of their government. Only a few days ago, Mr Bwala said his principal, Atiku, would contest the presidency again in the 2027.

Asked if he had returned to the APC, the lawyer said he would not mind if supporting Mr Tinubu meant he had done so.

“APC is a party. President Bola Tinubu is my motivation, if supporting him will take me to APC so be it,” he said.

Mr Bwala commended the president for some of the decisions he has taken since he assumed office in May.
