A Nigerian woman has sparked discussion online after strongly criticising Daniel Bwala over his recent interview with journalist Mehdi Hasan.
In a video reacting to the interview, the lady said she did not find the exchange amusing, describing it instead as “absolutely revolting.”
Lady criticises remarks in interview
The woman expressed disappointment that Bwala, whom she described as a senior lawyer, appeared to dismiss statistics about Nigeria’s challenges by referring to them as mere opinions of citizens.
She argued that the government has failed in its fundamental responsibility of protecting the welfare and security of Nigerians, referencing provisions of the country’s constitution.
According to her, ongoing issues such as killings, kidnappings, and the displacement of communities highlight serious failures in governance.
Concerns about consistency in public commentary
The critic also questioned the consistency of some political commentators and public figures who previously spoke against government policies but later appeared to defend them after becoming part of the administration.
She suggested that individuals who once built their reputations by speaking truth to power should remain consistent in their principles, even after entering positions of influence.
During the video, she also referenced a question reportedly raised by a woman during the interview about whether Bwala’s current stance contradicts statements he made while he was in the opposition.
The critic argued that the responsibility of public commentators and political actors is to hold those in power accountable rather than abandon their earlier positions once they become part of the system.
Debate continues online
Her reaction has since circulated widely on social media, sparking debate among viewers about government accountability, political consistency, and the role of public figures in addressing Nigeria’s ongoing security and governance challenges.
