Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Policy Communication, has defended the administration’s approach to Nigeria’s security challenges, explaining why calls for President Tinubu’s resignation today are not comparable to demands made against former President Goodluck Jonathan in 2014. The comments were made during an interview on The Morning Brief on Channels Television, reported by Daily Post on December 3, 2025.
Bwala noted that the public outcry in 2014, following the Chibok girls’ abduction, justified calls for Jonathan’s resignation. He emphasized that President Tinubu, in contrast, inherited a complex security environment that requires strategic management rather than immediate resignation. According to Bwala, comparing the two situations overlooks key differences in governance and context.
Highlighting that insecurity is a global challenge, Bwala also pointed out that crime rates in other democracies, including the United States, are higher than in Nigeria. “I was telling my guys at the BBC that the crime rate in the United States is higher than the crime rate in Nigeria,” he said, stressing that citizens in democratic settings can express opinions freely, but public discourse must consider national realities.
Bwala further explained that President Tinubu remains committed to practical solutions aimed at reducing crime and improving safety, rather than responding to pressure through calls for resignation. He reinforced that historical statements on leadership accountability must be adapted to current circumstances, and each situation should be evaluated independently.
