Presidential aide Daniel Bwala says that during former President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration, rivalry or poor cooperation between the Nigerian Army and the Nigerian Air Force hindered some military operations. Bwala alleges that disagreements between the two services led to troops being denied air support at certain times. He makes the claim on The Link Up Podcast, hosted by EchoRoom, according to one report. Another outlet repeats the allegation, framing it as a Buhari-era issue that affected operational effectiveness. Both sources attribute the statement to Bwala and describe the core point as a lack of coordination that prevented air support from being provided to ground forces during some missions. Neither source provides specific examples, dates, locations, or details about which operations were affected, nor do they include direct responses from the Army or the Air Force. The reports therefore present Bwala’s account as the basis for the criticism, without additional corroboration or official clarification in the coverage provided.
