“Bayo Onanuga is an elder statesman. He’s a very brilliant journalist who has had his records. We are happy he’s leading us, he’s a leader. I’m happy for him to lead. I haven’t been told but I’m happy for him to lead. Because he’s an elder, I will respect him. And he has his own record. he has served Nigeria well. He has a proven record as a journalist.

“I can never be drawn into a position where I will rub shoulders with him. I doff my cap for him. My own is, if he says ‘go and carry that table’ I will just do so; that’s my job. It’s not about title,” Bwala said.
