A former campaign spokesperson for the Atiku Abubakar Presidential Campaign in 2023, Daniel Bwala, says only President Bola Tinubu knows members of his cabinet who will be sacked and those who will be retained.
According to him, anyone who says he/she knows who will be retained or sacked in the imminent cabinet reshuffle is only second-guessing.
Speaking on Thursday as a guest on Channels Television’s The Morning Brief, Bwala submitted that both the timing of the reshuffle as well as those who get retained or shown the exit door out of the cabinet, remains the exclusive prerogative of President Bola Tinubu.
“What you must always judge with government is that at every given time, the motive of the government, the intention of the government and the accountability that the government brings to the people should be a factor for assessment, not necessarily because you want to see some extraordinary thing before you do that. 
“So, the president is assessing whether some people believe in his administration because if they do you will be a messenger of what you believe in. But as to say who should go or who should stay is the prerogative of the president, only the president knows who will go and who will stay.
“Anybody else who tells you he knows who will go and who will stay I think the person is either second-guessing or the person is not being fair to himself,” Bwala said.
He stated this in reaction to the declaration by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, who confirmed during a press conference on Wednesday that President Tinubu is imminently set for a cabinet reshuffle.
During the TV interview, Bwala also reacted to suggestions in certain quarters that he might be chosen to occupy the position of the spokesperson to President Tinubu, which has remained vacant since Ajuri Ngelale resigned from the position.
He said he has only read the insinuations on social media, adding that all he does in support of the government is not because he wants an appointment but because he believes every citizen should support the government in discharging its responsibilities.
Bwala said, “I am not aware of people tipping me for the job, but I read things on social media. What I know is that every citizen of Nigeria who believes in government and how government should be run should play his part in supporting the government in whatever way you can. So that is what we have been doing without necessarily having to wait for appointment.”
