During the interview, Bwala was questioned about several negative developments in Nigeria, including the country’s security challenges. The host noted that Nigeria has reportedly become the fifth deadliest country in the world and asked whether the government was proud of such a record.
In response, Bwala acknowledged that insecurity exists in the country but suggested that the recent surge in attacks began after narratives about a Christian genocide gained prominence. He also argued that no nation in the world is completely free from security problems.
Reacting to the interview on his official Facebook page, Fayose mocked Bwala’s defence of the government, saying anyone trying to justify the current administration would end up looking foolish.
According to him, defending the government of President Bola Tinubu is an extremely difficult task, adding that Nigeria is a country where some of the most ruthless politicians can be found.
“You can’t defend this government without looking stupid,” Fayose wrote.
He added, “Nigeria is reportedly the fifth deadliest country to live in, and it is also a place where you see some of the most wicked politicians. How did we get here?”
