Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, faced a grueling interview with Mehdi Hasan on Al Jazeera’s Head to Head program.
The discussion centered around Tinubu’s administration, with Hasan pressing Bwala on past criticisms he made about the President.
Bwala defended his government’s policies, but Hasan repeatedly cited Bwala’s previous statements against Tinubu, which Bwala denied making.
The interview sparked controversy, with some Nigerians criticizing Bwala’s performance as embarrassing calling for his immediate removal by the President.
Bwala later accused Hasan of using “opposition research-style journalism” and claimed some quotes were inaccurate or fabricated, cited that as a professional he supposed to equipped himself before granting interview to an International media Al-Jazeera.
He expressed admiration for Hasan, calling him “arguably the best debater on the planet,” and welcomed a second interview.
The debate has sparked heated discussions on social media, with calls for Bwala’s removal and praise for his defense of the administration.
