Presidential aide Daniel Bwala accuses Channels TV host Seun Akinbaloye of bias
Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser on Policy Communication to President Bola Tinubu, accused Channels TV host Seun Akinbaloye of bias after interviewing former Anambra governor Peter Obi. Bwala claimed Seun suddenly acted like a "massage therapist" lacking balls, grit, creativity, data, and click‑bait, yet Obi sounded boring and substance‑less. He wrote on his X handle: "Again as predictable, the interviewer with double standards turned up as a massage therapist, no balls, no grit, no creativity, no data, and no click bait, yet the interviewee sounded boring with no substance. A thousand media surrogates cannot market him. If e didn’t Dey e didn’t Dey." DAILY POST recalls that Bwala and Seun previously clashed when Bwala was questioned about past comments against Tinubu before joining the administration. The exchange highlights ongoing tensions between government officials and media figures over perceived partisanship in political interviews. Such accusations can affect public trust in both the administration and the press, prompting audiences to scrutinise interview framing and seek multiple sources for political news. Readers should note that Bwala’s remarks reflect his personal opinion; Seun has not publicly responded. When watching political interviews, consider the interviewer’s possible biases and cross‑check claims with other reputable outlets.
