Daniel Bwala, a Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu, has controversially stated that even if the president were given 30 years in office, the nation's challenges would persist. Bwala, who previously served as a spokesperson for the People's Democratic Party (PDP) during the 2023 elections, made this assertion during an interview on Channels Television.
He criticized the current administration's approach, suggesting that time alone would not resolve the underlying issues facing Nigeria. Bwala's remarks echo sentiments he expressed in December 2023, where he likened the situation to the previous administration, stating that "when there is a fundamental problem with policy, time is irrelevant; 30 years will not work."
This statement has sparked debates among political analysts and the public, with some questioning the implications of such a perspective from a presidential aide. Bwala's comments have added fuel to ongoing discussions about the effectiveness of the current government's policies and the challenges of governance in Nigeria.
Despite his critical stance, Bwala has also acknowledged the importance of collaboration and has expressed support for certain initiatives of the administration. His balanced approach reflects the complexities of political dynamics and the need for constructive dialogue in addressing the nation's issues.
As Nigeria continues to navigate its political landscape, Bwala's remarks serve as a reminder of the diverse perspectives within the government and the ongoing discourse on the best path forward for the country.
