A former PDP presidential campaign spokesman, Daniel Bwala, has on Wednesday expressed disdain over the method some Ministers have resumed their office by issuing threats.
Several Ministers had resumed their offices just after the swearing in ceremony by the President. However, Daniel Bwala had a lot to say about the new Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.
Bwala, during an interview session on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily, noted that the initial pronouncements of some of the new Ministers was an indication that they may not be fully aware of the task ahead.
There are others, maybe they have an idea, we don’t know, but their first speech with the Nigerian people is threatening fire and brimstone,” he said.
“To us, we felt that is somebody who does that probably does not have a firm grasp of the role he is going to play or an idea of where he is going.
“Sometimes, even if you do, priority also matters. If you have too many issues, you know which one comes first, which one comes second.”
Bwala also passed a vote of confidence on the new Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi, adding that the choice was a good one by the president, judging from his performance at the screening exercise.
He cited Fagbemi’s “stellar” core objective to ensure adherence to the rule of law, which to the minister “simply means obeying rules and regulations and that the vision of Mr President should key into the rule of law”.

The former aide to Atiku said:
“For example, him being a lawyer, the creed of our law practice is that every legal practitioner is to promote the rule of law, foster the course of justice and not to be engaged in any conduct that is unbecoming of a legal practitioner. That is striking.”
Bwala’s statement is coming days after Wike made fresh threats to landlords in Abuja who may be distorting the master plan of the city.
The former Rivers governor maintained that for anyone who has developed where they are not supposed to, even if the culprit is a minister or an ambassador, “your house must go down”.
