Daniel Bwala, special adviser to President Bola Tinubu on policy communication, has told former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar that he would lose to the ruling party in the 2027 presidential election.
Bwala was reacting to remarks by Abubakar, who was a guest
on Arise TV on Wednesday.
The former vice-president has run for the number one office
six times, appearing on the ballot as a presidential candidate on three
occasions — 2007, 2019, and 2023.
During the show, Abubakar said the 2027 general election
will be his last shot at the presidency.
Abubakar also expressed confidence in the opposition
momentum building within the African Democratic Congress (ADC), saying any
presidential candidate backed by the coalition would defeat Tinubu in 2027.
In a post via X on Wednesday night, Bwala, a former aide to
the ex-vice president, dismissed the ADC as a gathering of “aggrieved stateless
leaders”.
Bwala said it is almost certain that Abubakar would be the
ADC presidential flagbearer in the poll, but that Tinubu would defeat him again
as he did in 2023, when the ex-vice-president had governors and state
structures behind him.
“My former boss @atiku said ‘with a coalition candidate,
President Tinubu @officialABAT is dead on arrival. Lol,” Bwala wrote.
“But we know you are the coalition candidate YET (no vex
sir), he defeated you in 2023 when you had governors, states, and structures.
These governors, states and structures are with him.
“With a coalition of aggrieved ‘STATELESS’ leaders, I doubt
if President Tinubu would bother to check the scoreboard on the day.”
