Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Media and Public Communication has insisted that he is not a newcomer in the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Bwala said he was only away from the party for like seven months.
He stated this on Monday while fielding questions on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme.
The statement comes amid criticisms against him for accepting to become a media aide to the President, after harshly excoriating the APC and President Bola Tinubu.
While defending himself on national television, Bwala said most of the attacks against him were being sponsored.
“I am not the only subject of the decision of the President that touched on people, probably APC and the rest.
“You have practically interviewed me eight years before the election, consistently defending APC as an APC member. My credential is in your hand.
“I am not like a newcomer. I have only been away for like seven months but everything is ‘Bwala Bwala’. They have their reasons but some of those things are sponsored,” he said.
