Daniel Bwala, the Special Adviser on Policy Communication to the President, has again denied ever calling Bola Tinubu an illegitimate President.
Bwala had on several occasions denied previous comments he reportedly made against the President when he was in the opposition.
In an interview on KAA TRUTHS podcast, Daniel Bwala said an activist and member of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Aisha Yesufu, was the one who called Tinubu an illegitimate President.
According to Bwala, Aisha’s continuous view of the President as illegitimate despite the Supreme Court ruling on the 2023 presidential election was due to her ignorance of the law.

He said, “Nobody in Nigeria, even the opposition, including Kenneth Okonkwo, called the President illegitimate, it is only Aisha and that’s because she is ignorant and doesn’t know what the law is.
“Even if a person won an election that is flawed, and that election is litigated to the highest court of the land whose decision is final in all authorities and they said that the election was valid, from that moment you should back away.”
Asked if he never made such a comment in the past, Bwala insisted that he “never called the President illegitimate”.
“If you have it pull it out,” he added.
