Presidential aide Daniel Bwala recently found himself in a contentious debate during a live interview with TV anchor Rufai Oseni. The discussion took a dramatic turn when Oseni confronted Bwala about his decision to serve in the administration of President Bola Tinubu, despite having previously criticized the government.
During the interview airing on Tuesday, Oseni questioned Bwala on why he opted to support the same administration he had openly criticized in the past. Bwala responded defensively, asserting, “Don’t ask me questions like I’m a secondary student.”
As the dialogue intensified, Oseni probed whether Bwala’s choice was motivated by political convenience. Bwala, however, maintained that his commitment to the government was rooted in a genuine desire to make a meaningful contribution to the nation.
“My decision to serve is based on national interest, not personal gain. People evolve, perspectives change, and governance is about making an impact,” Bwala stated, emphasizing his belief in the importance of his role.
The interview has sparked widespread reactions across social media platforms, with some users rallying behind Oseni’s challenging questions, while others criticized Bwala’s responses as evasive. Comments have surfaced suggesting that Bwala is among a group of politically flexible figures who compromise their integrity for personal gain.
In a notable reaction, a user criticized Bwala, likening him to others who have shifted their positions for political advancement. Another user directed remarks at Oseni, urging him to maintain professionalism and objectivity in his journalistic approach, suggesting that his focus on entertainment detracts from substantive public discourse.
The debate reflects broader discussions about political allegiance and journalistic integrity in the current political climate.
