Daniel Bwala, lawyer and public affairs analyst, has defended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s absence in the polity.
In a post shared on his X account on Monday, May 6, Bwala maintained that President Tinubu could govern from anywhere in the world, noting, “he is in charge of the country”.
Recall that Atiku Abubakar, the former vice president of Nigeria, raised concerns over Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima’s absence from the presidential villa in a statement he signed and shared on his X page.
In reaction to Atiku’s outcry, Shettima suspended his trip to the United States.
But reacting to the development, Bwala, the PDP chieftain claimed the president and his vice don’t need to rule from Aso Villa.

Bwala, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)âs presidential campaign committee in the 2023 general elections, condemned the âtrial by mediaâ approach by the anti-graft agency.
The legal practitioner who was reacting to the recent press briefing by the EFCC chairman, Olanipekun Olukoyede, accused the commissionâs boss of conducting public discussions akin to a courtroom trial, where media outlets act as judge and jury.
