BREAKING NEWS: Bola Ahmed Tinubu Administration Is Searching For Perfect People – Bwala Opined on Nominations of Reno Omokri, Others as Ambassadors
Presidential spokesman on policy and communication, Daniel Bwala, has said that the Tinubu administration is not searching for “perfect people” to serve in government, stressing that political appointments are made at the discretion of the President.....TAP TO CONTINUE READING
Speaking on Arise Television’s Morning Show on Thursday, Bwala explained that there is no statutory requirement for appointing ambassadors, noting that the role is largely political.
According to him, ambassadors may be drawn from career diplomats or politicians, just as past Ministers of Defence, before the Buhari administration, were appointed without any military experience.
Bwala argued that concerns over nominees’ past conduct are subjective, adding that even in advanced democracies, appointments are often influenced by political considerations.
He cited the United States, noting that some Supreme Court justices appointed by former President Donald Trump were selected based on ideological alignment.
He maintained that what matters is whether an appointee is considered “fit and proper,” a judgment he said varies from person to person.
Bwala stressed that the President has the constitutional authority under Section 5 to choose those who will help him run the government, and will ultimately bear the consequences of any poor decisions.
He said: “You see, there is no statute or book that talks about the requirement for being appointed as ambassador. That is why you have career ambassadors who are in the embassies. They can advise, they can run diplomatic issues. An ambassador is a political appointment which a President exercises.
He can choose to bring a former diplomat. He can choose to bring a pure politician. It is just like appointing somebody as Minister of Defence. Until Buhari, all the Ministers of Defence never had any military experience. They were pure civilians. So political appointment is different.
“Now in terms of whether the people have participated in a toxic environment. I mean, if you look at where we always look up to as the model of democracy: there is Marco Rubio, and if you see the things he said about Donald Trump, even in the primaries.
Then you come to JD Vance, you see them surrounded. In terms of appointment, in America there are justices of the Supreme Court who Donald Trump appointed only because they gave judgments favorable to the Republican ideology. That was his consideration.
“I think that the basic thing is you must be judged fit and proper. Now that is generic. The definition as to whether somebody is fit and proper is subjective. Somebody can say, I like the temperament of this one. Another person can say, I do not like it. There are people in government right now whose temperament you could also question.
“Your choice of rice might be different from mine. Maybe you want fried rice and I want pure white rice. But I am trying to suggest to you that the bottom line is the man recruiting them decides whether these people would fit, because Section 5 is clear. The executive powers of the Federation lie in the President. So he runs the government by himself or through delegation. He makes a choice of who he delegates. If he makes a bad choice, he will see it.
“But the beauty of democracy is that we do not go about looking for perfect people. We look for people who are ready to work. Even in the course of work, if you do anything wrong, you will be sacked. That is how democracy is built. Even pastors. You appoint somebody, you anoint somebody as a pastor, and you think that is heaven on earth.
He starts and then he misbehaves. Then you subject him to disciplinary measures. Democracy does not close itself to the possibility of error. The government itself is not perfect. In the course of running governance, you take feedback from Nigerians.”

Abdul, a skilled plaster-of-Paris (POP) artisan, had been contracted to work on a building, unaware that he was actually constructing his future home, the emotional revelation left him in tears of disbelief and gratitude.
In her words, she said:
“This particular house has a special story behind it, and the owner does not know it belongs to him. His name is Abdul Bambamba. He is actually an uncle to my children. I was married to his relative.
Even though the marriage failed, Abdul remained committed to me. He always cared for me and the children, even before I met my husband now. He has been a very special person to me.”
The gesture was more than just a gift; it was a recognition of years of loyalty and unwavering support. According to Senator Natasha, Abdul is more than an artisan, he is a family.
