Tinubu’s Adviser Daniel Bwala Undergoes Throat Surgery Eight Days After Al Jazeera Interview

Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser on Policy Communication to President Bola Tinubu, says he had throat surgery eight days after his widely discussed Al Jazeera interview with Mehdi Hasan. He disclosed this on News Central’s 60 Minutes with Mr Kay. Bwala complained about a social media faction he named the “Obidients,” accusing them of sacrificing national interest for political loyalty. He said he remains strong despite the online attacks. He also defended his interview performance, calling Hasan’s style “opposition journalism” and objecting to repeated questions about his past criticisms of President Tinubu. Bwala said he repeatedly asked to move on but was forced to deny earlier remarks on air. Clips from the exchange went viral online. Critics pointed to video evidence of Bwala’s former comments on Tinubu’s character and Nigeria’s security situation, triggering fresh debate.
