Bwala Says Goodluck Jonathan Cannot Defeat Tinubu in 2027 Election
Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser on Policy Communication to President Bola Tinubu, has said that former president Goodluck Jonathan stands no chance against his principal if he decides to contest the 2027 presidential election.
Bwala, who spoke on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Wednesday, cautioned Jonathan against yielding to pressure from those urging him to return to the race. According to him, such calls are only aimed at ruining the former leader’s hard-earned reputation.
“I can see that certain people are trying to lure former President Jonathan back into politics just so they can damage the image he has carefully built since leaving office,” Bwala said. “After his time in government, he rose to become a respected international figure, and going back would put that at risk.”
While Jonathan has not publicly declared any political ambition, Bwala stressed that even if he chooses to run, he does not have the strength to defeat Tinubu. “If Jonathan eventually throws his hat into the ring, I can tell you with facts from the political climate today that there is no politician capable of dislodging President Bola Tinubu,” he added.
Lagos State Police react to claims of them taking money from dispatch riders on the Coastal Road in Lagos.
It started after a rumour was shared that police arrest and take money from riders as a demand for high bribes, sometimes reaching ₦200,000, and seize motorcycles if not given.
The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, then addressed the claims online and stated in his statement that he disagreed that the rumour is true and stated, “The spread of misinformation only causes more harm than good. In this era, we can and must do better.”
It has been announced by the governor of Ogun that Tuesday 3rd of February is a public holiday in order to mark the 50th anniversary of the state creation.
This public holiday declaration was released in a statement by the secretary of the state, Tokunbo Talabi.
He then added that the holiday will provide as a day for the citizens to participate in the activities for the state milestone.
Former Kogi politician, Dino Melaye, faces backlash from the public after he shared a video on social media of him abroad and living well through his luxurious lifestyle.
In the same video, he speaks about Nigeria’s current economy and shares his disappointment.
He wrote, “See country, God help us to build a true nation where our wicked leaders will be in jail and the right people in power. Nigeria must be fixed. YES WE CAN.”
However, many state that what he posted and what he is saying contradict each other, and they accused him of sharing his own records to know if he was a corrupt leader.
