Daniel Bwala, a former aide to the 2023 Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has slammed President Bola Tinubu for constituting a large government.

He accused Tinubu of constituting the largest cabinet and bloated government in Nigeria’s history.

He pointed out that the president has failed to move the country forward despite his large government and influence of human rights advocates.

Posting on X, Bwala said the country can’t move forward when Tinubu is not working to unify the country.

According to him, Tinubu’s appointments are nepotism-based.

He wrote: “Largest cabinet since the inception of the Republic; Bloated government since the return of democracy; Largest media aids to the point of superimposition of roles; @officialABAT arguably influenced the media careers of 60 percent of journalists in the country, 40 percent of human right advocates and CSO founders; heck he even owns a TV house and a newspaper company; YET the optics aren’t good and the narrative can’t be changed.

“Do you know why? No leader can move a country that he is not consciously working towards unifying and to give everybody a sense of belonging. The nepotism is ultra high and pro max.”
