Bwala dismisses chances of Atiku, Obi to defeat Tinubu in 2027

Daniel Bwala, the Special Adviser on Policy Communication to President Bola Tinubu , says former Vice President Atiku Abubakar may not have been destined to become the President of Nigeria.

Speaking on Channels TV’s Politics Today on Monday, Bwala said “There is my former principal who believes that he is going to win,”

He dismissed the chances of Atiku and other opposition coalition leaders such as Peter Obi and Rotimi Amaechi to unseat President Bola Tinubu in 2027.

“In all honesty, I have expressed my opinion that it may never have been destined by God for him to be a president in Nigeria because he has done everything he needs to do to be president and he did not win the presidency. 2023 was the biggest opportunity that my former principal Atiku Abubakar had. He will never have that kind of privilege again,” he said.

The opposition leaders had come together last week to adopt the African Democratic Party (ADC) as the platform for its coalition to send Tinubu whom they said has taken the country backwards packing from the Aso Villa.

However, Bwala dismissed any threat from them, saying that they have been unable to present alternative policies which can convince Nigerians to vote for them.
