Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Policy Communication, has reacted to a resurfaced video in which the president said Nigerians should not re-elect him if he fails to ensure steady electricity supply.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Bwala spoke during an interview on Arise Television, where he addressed questions about the video and the current performance of the power sector under the Tinubu administration.
He said the president’s statement should be viewed within the context of his ongoing first term, stressing that it is too early to judge promises tied to a possible second term.
According to him, the administration has already begun implementing reforms in the power sector, including policy decisions and new legislative measures aimed at improving electricity supply.
He maintained that progress is ongoing and that the focus should be on what has been achieved so far rather than expectations for future electoral outcomes.
Bwala added that Nigerians will ultimately decide at the appropriate time whether the president deserves another term based on his overall performance.
“The president has not even come to the point of second term. We are still in the first term, and reforms are ongoing, including new laws and sectoral changes,” he said.
He further argued that the electorate will make their judgment when the time comes, based on the results delivered by the administration.
