Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, has ruled out the possibility of any political figure, including former President Goodluck Jonathan, defeating Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.
Speaking during an interview on National TV, Bwala dismissed recent calls for Jonathan to contest, describing them as a ploy to damage the former president’s post-office reputation.
He argued that the political landscape in southern Nigeria — Jonathan’s home region — has largely aligned with Tinubu, pointing to the support of several governors. He also questioned the sincerity of northern politicians urging Jonathan to run, noting that some of them opposed him when he was in power.
Bwala further expressed certainty that Tinubu would prevail against Jonathan or any other contender.
Jonathan has yet to publicly confirm whether he will join the presidential race.
