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.
It has been reported that Bola Ahmed Tinubu was absent at the commissioning of the Opebi-Mende Link Bridge, which took place on April 8, 2026.
However, Senate President Godswill Akpabio represented the President and carried out the ceremony.
As he commissioned the project, he stated “On behalf of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, I commission these projects.”
