In an interview on The Morayo Afolabi-Brown Show on Wednesday, July 8, 2026, Bwala compared the Tinubu government to the prior administration while addressing questions regarding the President's stance on disagreements and freedom of speech. He claimed that Tinubu has shown more patience towards criticism than former administrations did.
To illustrate his argument, Bwala mentioned, "Back in Buhari's time, when Sunday Igboho just spoke up, the military was sent to eliminate him."
Bwala's statement was meant to highlight that the current government has not reacted to its critics with as much.
He asserted that President Tinubu has permitted people with different political beliefs to voice their opinions without fear of threats or oppression.
The APC leader emphasized that a key feature of a democratic system is its capacity to accept criticism from those who thoroughly oppose its decisions.
He noted that Tinubu's way of leading shows a readiness to accept varied viewpoints, which sets his administration apart from those that responded more violently to opposition.
