Lawmaker criticizes Tinubu’s aide over remarks about Wike
Solomon Bob, a member of the House of Representatives, has criticized Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu, for comments about Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory.

He argued that Bwala’s statements about Wike being “adequately compensated” and interfering with Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s administration were misleading. The lawmaker insisted that Bwala does not speak for the president and should focus on his official duties.
