Nigerian opposition jobless, lazying around – Tinubu’s aide, Bwala

Daniel Bwala, President Bola Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Policy Communication, on Wednesday described the opposition as jobless, stressing that they are “lazying about.”

Bwala made the remark while featuring on Channels Television’s Politics Today, in reaction to the United States, US, President, Donald Trump’s letter to President Bola Tinubu.

In the letter, Trump had lauded Tinubu for his decisive leadership in tackling terrorism and insecurity in Nigeria, particularly attacks on Christian communities.

According to a statement issued on Wednesday by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, Trump conveyed the commendation in a letter dated July 6, 2026.

However, Bwala said: “The opposition is jobless, allow the opposition to keep lazying about, Nigerians want to hear what is happening to their lives.”

Bwala insisted that Nigerians currently want to know Tinubu’s strides in the areas of economy and security.

“Nigerians want to know what is happening with their economy, their education, and most importantly with security and we have made substantial progress,” he said.

The presidential aide also maintained that Tinubu made history in collaboration with the US government.

“First time in Nigeria’s history where the leadership of Tinubu brought about a very strong collaboration.

“The letter was written by the US government applauding the President of Nigeria for deeper cooperation but unfortunately we are not discussing it in the media Today, is it fair to Nigerians?

“Is it fair to Nigerians who want to know that this country has experienced progress to the point where our collaboration is yielding results,” he added.
