Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, asserted that the safety of Nigerians has improved under Tinubu’s administration.
During an interview on Channels Television's ‘Sunday Politics,’ Bwala reflected on the security situation, recalling that prior to 2023, Nigeria faced frequent prison escapes, daylight kidnappings, and daily killings.
“In fact, US President Donald Trump, when he came in 2016, started selling to us some of the ammunition that the previous government didn’t give us.
“He knows the importance of Nigeria and the strategic position Nigeria plays in fighting insecurity.
“Nigerians are superlatively safer today than they were because you know that before 2023, there were prison breaks everywhere in Nigeria. Even in Abuja here, broad dailylight they would come and kidnap people.
“Before President Bola Tinubu came on board, you saw everyday killings in every part of this country.
“But after he became president, we have not heard of prison break and people are going about their businesses across the country,” he said.
