President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appointed Daniel Bwala as Special Adviser on Public Communications and Media at the State House.
The appointment was announced on Wednesday in a statement by Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.
A former aide of former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 election, Bwala worked actively for his former principal who lost to Tinubu.
However, after the elections, he worked his way into the camp of Tinubu, sparking controversy.
The lawyer had said that he was committed to supporting Tinubu’s administration to succeed.
During a visit to the President, Bwala said if supporting the president would take him back to the APC, “so be it”.
Onanuga also announced the appointments of three Directors-General of various agencies.
He said the president appointed Adebowale Adedokun as the DG of the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP).
“Olopade, the new Directors-General of the National Sports Commission, is a sports administrator with many years of experience in the sector,” the statement reads.
“He served as commissioner of youth and sports in Ogun state and was chairman of the local organising committee of the 2024 national sports festival.
“The new Directors-General of the National Institute for Hospitality and Tourism, Dr. Abisoye Fagade is a marketing communication professional. He is the founder and managing director of Sodium Brand Solutions.
“Adedokun, the new helmsman of the Bureau of Public Procurement, was the Director of research/training and strategic planning at the bureau before his appointment.
