The Senator representing Borno South, Mohammed Ali Ndume, has asked Daniel Bwala, the newly appointed Special Adviser, Media and Public Communications to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to “seek forgiveness” from Vice President Kashim Shettima who he heavily criticized and called names following his emergence as Tinubu’s running mate in the buildup to the 2023 general elections.

Ndume made this request on Bwala in a statement issued on Saturday. According Ndume, this move is important as it will enable Bwala to work closely with Shettima to promote the “Renewed Hope” agenda of the Tinubu administration.

He said: “Work with him (Shettima) closely as your second principal to promote the ‘Renewed Hope’ agenda of Mr President.

“You should learn from Sunday Dare and Onanuga who are long and loyal associates of Tinubu; who always defend the policies of Mr President without being abusive and offensive.

“You should also learn from the likes of Hadiza Bala and Nuhu Ribadu (NSA) who defend and market Tinubu’s policies backed by facts and figures. Finally you should also link up with our people at the grassroots because charity begins from home.

I wish you success in your new assignment,” he stated.

Ndume said Tinubu has a large heart for accommodating Bwala, one-time spokesman to his political opponent, Atiku Abubakar.

The Borno lawmaker said his appointment was a rare demonstration of large heartedness in leadership, “a quality that is difficult to find in many leaders today.”

Recall that Tinubu had, on Thursday appointed Bwala, former spokesperson for ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar Presidential Campaign as his Special Adviser, Media and Public Communication(State House).

Bwala had defected from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), citing Shettima’s religious background (who emerged as Tinubu’s running mate) as the major reason for his decision.
