The Presidency has clarified that the three media advisers to President Bola Tinubu would work jointly as his spokespersons.
The Presidency made the clarification in a statement signed by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, on Monday.
This is sequel to reported claims by Mr Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser, Media and Public Communication, that he is the only spokesperson of the president.
The Presidency said Mr Onanuga, Bwala, and Sunday Dare, Special Adviser on Public Communication and National Orientation, would jointly work as Tinubu’s spokespersons.
The statement reads thus:
“President Bola Tinubu has re-designated the positions of two recently appointed officials in the State House media and communications team to enhance efficiency within the government’s communication machinery.
The restructuring is as follows:
1. Mr. Sunday Dare – hitherto Special Adviser on Public Communication and National Orientation is now Special Adviser, Media and Public Communications.
2. Mr. Daniel Bwala – announced last week as Special Adviser, Media and Public Communication, is now Special Adviser Policy Communication.
These appointments, along with the existing role of Special Adviser, Information and Strategy , underscore that there is no single individual spokesperson for the Presidency.
Instead, all the three Special Advisers will collectively serve as spokespersons for the government.
This approach aims to ensure effective and consistent communication of government policies, decisions, and engagements.”
