JUST IN: Daniel Bwala withdraws ‘no man’s land’ comment, says Lagos is Yoruba homeland
Presidential media aide, Daniel Bwala, has clarified his recent comments on Lagos, saying the state’s Yoruba identity is “beyond dispute”.
In a post on X on Wednesday, Bwala said his remarks during a morning interview had been misinterpreted.
He wrote: “Culturally, historically, and constitutionally, Lagos belongs to the Yoruba people, and that has never been in contention.
“The unique identity of Lagos as a Yoruba homeland is settled and beyond dispute.”

He described Lagos as Nigeria’s commercial hub and a city of continental importance, likening its role to that of New York, Paris, or London.
According to him, Lagos provides opportunities for every Nigerian regardless of origin, reflecting the diversity of the country while remaining firmly rooted in Yoruba heritage.
Bwala said his argument was for massive investments in Lagos infrastructure to sustain its economic and social responsibilities.
“Any President who truly seeks to succeed must critically support Lagos, not because it is ‘no man’s land,’ but because it is the heartbeat of the nation’s development,” he added.
