President Bola Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, has criticized former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, over his recent interview on Arise Television.
During the interview, El-Rufai alleged that President Tinubu personally blocked his ministerial appointment, contrary to claims that the National Assembly rejected his nomination due to security concerns.
He questioned the existence of any security report that prevented his confirmation, saying, “Since then, has anyone released that report telling us the security issue?”
El-Rufai also cast doubt on his support for Tinubu’s potential re-election in 2027, stating that the president has failed to meet the expectations placed on him.
Reacting to these remarks, Bwala dismissed El-Rufai’s statements, accusing him of trying to manipulate public perception.
Posting on X, Bwala wrote: “@elrufai Mallam El-Rufai’s interview on Arise news were full of word salad; jumbles of incoherent and disorganized statements and responses aimed at distorting the truth in order to re-shape history and patterns.
“His philosophy is; if it is not about him, then everybody must be a victim of his ambition. Believe him at your own peril.”
