The spokesman for Atiku Abubakar’s presidential campaign in the 2023 elections, Daniel Bwala, has stated that he makes no apologies for supporting President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
He disclosed this after meeting with President Tinubu at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Wednesday.
Bwala further stated that he would not mind joining the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) if supporting the President would compel him to do so.
Speaking to State House media following the meeting with the President, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, praised President Tinubu’s style of governing since taking office.
He lauded him for many of the steps he has taken since including the recent sanctioning of errant public officers, as well as the decision to yield to public pressure on cutting cost of governance.
He further disclosed that President Tinubu, in the conversation they had, told him that Nigerians will see more reduction in the cost of governance soon.
According to him, “Some of his Ministers that were allegedly reported to have committed infractions, instead of protecting them, he asked that the law should have its own course and suspended somebody without wasting time. That to me is impressive because it’s about the people.
“Secondly, there has been this outcry that the government is bloated and the rest, yesterday he introduced a policy that reduced the cost of governance and today he told me it is just the beginning. There are many more decisions of government that will reduce the cost of governance.
“What have we been talking about as citizens, if you don’t have personal grudge against someone, if it is a policy issue. When policies are going correctly…and what I’m saying apart from today that I’m talking here, you all need to visit my Twitter page. In the last few days, I have been expressing my surprise and appreciation to the President for the decisions he is taking.
“So this is not about political party and you need to know that like I said, I was with him before I left and I was doggedly committed to him. I told him today, I am committing to play my part to support your administration, and I have no apologies to anybody”, he said.
