North comfortable with Tinubu’s governance approach  — Bwala

Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, says the North is comfortable with Tinubu’s approach to governance.

This is contrary to the claim of former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Babachir Lawal, that the North was ready to send President Bola Tinubu out of power in 2027.

Recall that Babachir had recently accused President Tinubu of neglecting the North, adding that the president was cutting the region off from ongoing federal projects in the country.

He had said that some significant northern politicians have formed a forum ahead of the 2027 election to address the issues affecting the region and how they would approach the forthcoming election.

Responding, however, on Channels Television on Wednesday, Bwala dismissed Babachir’s claim, saying the North ‘is extremely comfortable’ with Tinubu’s government.

“Northern Nigeria is extremely comfortable with the governance approach of Mr President, do you know why? he is solving the problems that are in the long time and the problems in the moment. You can see conscious efforts by the president through various policy,” he said.

When asked if the presidency internalises Nigerians’ complaints about hardship, the presidential aide said things were already getting better.

According to him, there is a separation between the outcry by Nigerians and the agenda cooked by opposition politicians.

Bwala further explained that opposition parties were being tortured by the results and performance of President Tinubu’s administration.
