Special Adviser on Policy Communications to president Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Daniel Bwala, has said some policies introduced by the present administration have made rice available to Nigerians across all levels.

The presidential aide, who disclosed this during an interview with DW Africa, expressed confidence that the administration has the support of Nigerians ahead of the 2027 elections.

Bwala said president Tinubu’s administration had improved healthcare and food access for ordinary Nigerians, noting that rice, one of the country’s major staple food, is now available across all levels.

He said, “We also have a rice policy that has made rice available to Nigerians across all levels.

“We also provided dispensaries, for example, free caesarean section for mothers who are having trouble giving birth.

“There are subsidies also on certain prescription drugs for the people at the local level. And people are able to access that.

“We’ve been able to register, I think, close to 10 million Nigerians in the national healthcare.”

On Tinubu’s medical trips abroad, Bwala said, “In fact, the president of Nigeria physically is fitter than most presidents in the advanced countries.”

He also commented on recent endorsements of president Tinubu ahead of the 2027 election, saying the process was in line with the All Progressives Congress (APC) internal tradition.


“It’s a procedure or a process with our party that there will be mid-term assessment.

“So, it’s not President Bola. Whoever is the president at the time, after every mid-term, we will assess and see whether the president has performed to a point where we would entrust the person to continue.

“We have measured that he has performed wonderfully well,” Bwala said.

He said the Tinubu-led administration is confident ahead of 2027 as it has the support of Nigerians.

He said: “And so we are absolutely confident ahead of 2027 that we have the support of our people,” he added, highlighting other achievements recorded by the administration in other critical sectors.


“Deepening democracy is one, which is the introduction of local government autonomy.

“Autonomy that gives the local government chairmen or administrators the enormous resources.

“State governments now are able to recruit vigilantes.

“They are able to buy vehicles and equipment that is necessary for surveillance and intelligence gathering, and then law enforcement.”

Ofunaofu:
Rice now available @ how much

Well, like I stated in another thread, we’re just here to replay that classic line where Daniel Bwala said, ‘Even if you give Tinubu 30 years, nothing will work.’ That’s the Bwala we remember. Everything else is noise.

So they will have to chew rice raw like that? They will chew raw rice to offset all the high bills: NEPA bill, telecom, fuel, other food stuffs, cost of cars, cost of all other goods and services, rent, education, unemployment, insecurity, etc.

It seems that the only thing this administration thinks is the problem of Nigerians is RICE. May be it is the only thing their foot soldiers ask for on their WhatsApp group.

We've been advised by their foot soldiers time without number to plant our rice, plant the ingredients, make the pots and spoons that we will use in cooking them, make the palm/groundnut oil, seasoning and salt or better avoid rice since there are cheaper alternatives.

A bunch of administrative misfits and political bimbos...

Very insensitive clan of corrupt ethnic jingoists and partisan urchins..

A bag of rice is hovering around 100k as we speak and they're not perturbed.

These are these same colony of hyenas who burnt all the tires they could lay their hands on at Ojota because the price of rice was at 7k a bag....Led by their ethnic religious leaders, politicians and a foolish professor against a Southern President Jonathan.

Shameless..
