Tinubu Will Win 2027 Election By Bigger Margin — Presidential Aide
The Presidency has predicted that President Bola Tinubu will win the 2027 presidential election by a margin larger than in 2023.
Special Adviser to the President on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, made the prediction on Tuesday during an appearance on Channels Television's Politics Today.
Bwala said Tinubu's victory gap over his opponents will be unbelievable compared to the last election.
"Let me tell you and let me say it categorically and I will be happy to come back. The margin of gap that President Bola Tinubu will give each and everyone of these candidates will be so much that you won't believe it," Bwala said.
He dismissed suggestions that he had already written the election result, saying his assessment was based on data, not conjecture.
"You asked me to give data now, so this is data. You speak to conjecture; I speak to data," he said.
Bwala argued that Tinubu's political base has expanded since 2023, with several governors elected on opposition platforms defecting to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). He said governors control political structures and their support would be decisive.
"In fact, since then, President Bola Tinubu has got how many governors on his side? How many governors have joined him?" he asked.
Tinubu won the 2023 election with 8,794,726 votes, beating Atiku Abubakar of the PDP by 1.81 million votes and Peter Obi of the Labour Party by 2.69 million votes.
Bwala said more governors now back Tinubu than in 2023, including in the North-East, which will boost his chances against Atiku and Obi in 2027.
