Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu<\/a> on Policy Communication, says the current administration has fulfilled its pledge to enhance national security.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Speaking during an interview on Politics Today<\/em> aired by Channels Television on Wednesday, Bwala asserted that the government had made significant progress in addressing security challenges across the country.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cHe made promises in electricity, but let me tell you, look at the fundamentals. Number one promise, the security of life and the welfare of the people shall be the responsibility of the government.<\/p>\n

\u201cLook at us having a programme like this; before, you know how you would have moved in this country. Let me ask you, by extension, the Nigerian people.<\/p>\n

\u201cRecently, we\u2019ve been having a series of problems in Benue. Has it not gone down? We have had in Plateau. Has it not gone down?<\/p>\n

\u201cLook at the IPOB issue, unknown gunmen. You know, 2022, 2023, the case of murder there. You know how they were kidnapping people coming to people\u2019s houses in the heart of the town.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bwala further explained that insecurity had been degraded to a large extent.<\/p>\n

According to him, what Nigerians currently see are criminal tendencies that do not correlate with whether someone is governing well or not, because they exist in every part of the world.<\/p>\n

The presidential aide said, \u201cInsecurity has been degraded to a large extent. What we are seeing in Nigeria is criminal tendencies that have no core relationship with whether somebody is governing well or not, because it exists in every part of this world.\u201d<\/p>\n

As economic debates intensify across the country, Daniel Bwala has positioned the current administration as a turning point in Nigeria\u2019s fiscal trajectory. Portraying the nation as gradually emerging from its economic low tide, he argued that improving revenues are already reshaping the political landscape \u2014 especially at the state level, where governors are beginning to enjoy the benefits of surging federal allocations.<\/p>\n

He framed this moment as a new fiscal dawn, likening it to a modern oil boom quietly underway beneath the surface, even as inflation and cost-of-living concerns remain part of the broader picture.<\/p>\n

In contrast, Bwala cast the opposition not as a rising alternative, but as a fractured alliance cobbled together through desperation. Their recent regrouping, he suggested, lacked ideological substance and was instead defined by opportunism \u2014 a coalition formed not from strength, but from the seizure of an existing but fragile party platform.<\/p>\n

Rather than presenting a structured threat, the opposition\u2019s activity was portrayed as reactive and hollow, marked by political scavenging rather than strategic evolution. From Bwala\u2019s vantage point, it was not a coalition preparing for power, but a loose assembly struggling for relevance in a political moment that appears \u2014 for now \u2014 to be slipping from their grasp.<\/p>\n
