The lawyer-turned-politician stated this via his X handle (formerly known as Twitter) @BwalaDaniel on Wednesday, June 5.

“It is so funny that what was the crux of our interview was never reflected in the topic of the video, but out of context topic is put for the optics and traction.”

Arise TV via its YouTube channel quoted Bwala as saying “I was always a Tinubu loyalist before I moved to Atiku. Going back to President Tinubu is just going back to who I know.”

Reacting to the quote, the public analyst said he decided to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu because the elections are over.

Yeah, elections are over and the consequences are here.

@NaphtaliKusa

But you were the one that always talk against PBAT now what makes the difference.

@ARjerimi

Don't you think it is working against your principal in the next coming election the fact that you will be promoting the person that you were attacking. How do you even reconcile that with your conscience?

Why minimum wage should be about N250,000, Bwala

Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that Bwala said the minimum wage should be about N250,000.

Bwala, however, said it is not realistic because there is no money to sustain a monthly salary payment.

He added that the proposed N60,000 minimum can't do much based on the high rate of inflation in the country
