The Special Adviser on Policy Communications to President Bola Tinubu, Daniel Bwala, has revealed that all Nigerian governors are in their oil boom era following an increase in their revenue.
Naija News reports that Bwala made this known during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, on Wednesday.
According to Bwala, no governor has complained about not being able to pay salaries since Tinubu’s government came on board, unlike past administrations.
He said, “All the governors in Nigeria are having the best of times, like they are having what we call the oil boom in their history as a country,” he said.
“Twenty-seven states at a time were bankrupt, and salaries were not paid. That is not a conversation now. It is almost like an anathema to talk about people not being paid salaries because that governor will be looked upon like Lucifer.
“There is revenue enough to pay the salaries, there is revenue enough to meet the minimum wage, embark on projects, pay your debt, and look to the future.”
Meanwhile, Daniel Bwala has downplayed the significance of the opposition coalition rallying under the African Democratic Congress (ADC), describing it as a small group of disgruntled politicians with no real political weight.
Bwala claimed the coalition is being driven by a few northern politicians who are upset about losing prominence in the current administration.
He said, “What you’re hearing is that a set of people in the North who believe it is their birthright to be in government. Some of them were in the past government for eight years. After a new government has come, they want to be in the centre of attention in the next government.
“This government believes in equal distribution of opportunities to those who have not had the privilege. They are angry and they said they want to form a group to remove the president… they are confused.”
Bwala insisted that the so-called coalition has no structure or institutional backing and has not been endorsed by key political players.
