President Bola Tinubu has named Daniel Bwala, a prominent figure in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), as his Special Adviser on Media and Public Communications at the State House.
Bwala previously served as the spokesperson for the PDP Presidential Campaign Council during the 2023 elections, where Atiku Abubakar was the party’s presidential candidate. A former member of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Bwala left the party due to its Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket, citing it as his reason for defecting to the PDP.
The announcement was made on Thursday by Tinubu’s Senior Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, who also disclosed the appointment of three directors-general to various federal agencies.
Newly Appointed Directors-General:
- Mr. Olawale Olopade — Director-General, National Sports Commission
- Olopade is an experienced sports administrator, a former Ogun State Commissioner for Youth and Sports, and the chairman of the 2024 National Sports Festival organizing committee.

- A marketing communications expert and founder of Sodium Brand Solutions.
- Dr. Adebowale Adedokun — Director-General, Bureau of Public Procurement
- Previously served as Director of Research, Training, and Strategic Planning at the Bureau of Public Procurement.
These appointments underscore President Tinubu’s commitment to strengthening governance and enhancing public administration in key sectors.
