Over 70% of Tinubu’s team previously opposed him — Bwala
Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser to President Tinubu, stated that over 70% of individuals now working with the President previously opposed him politically. This statement addressed concerns regarding ambassadorial nominees who had criticized Tinubu. Bwala emphasized the Presidency's neutrality during the National Assembly's confirmation process. He highlighted Tinubu's inclusive approach, influenced by his mother's teachings on leadership and forgiveness. Tinubu, having submitted 32 ambassadorial nominees, including former political rivals like Reno Omokri and Femi Fani-Kayode, prioritizes competence and a broad tent, even if it means working with past opponents. The list includes both career and non-career appointees, with a focus on diverse representation.
