“Peter Obi Will Lose His Supporters if He Run as VP” – Tinubu’s Aide Warns
Daniel Bwala, media and policy adviser to President Bola Tinubu, has advised Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, to reject any offer to run as a vice presidential candidate in 2027. Bwala believes such a move would damage Obi’s political standing and alienate the strong support he enjoys, particularly from the youth-driven Obidient movement. He noted that Obi’s appeal is tied to his ambition to lead the country, not to play second fiddle.
Speaking during a Channels Television interview, Bwala said, “Peter Obi would be making the biggest mistake of his life by accepting to be anyone’s running mate. His supporters had only one deal with him – to run for president. If he abandons that, most of them will walk away.” He added that even Obi himself might not be comfortable playing a supporting role, given how far he has come on his own political journey.
Bwala also said defeating President Tinubu in 2027 would be nearly impossible, arguing that the President now has the advantage of incumbency and the political structure to rally support across party lines. He said more governors and lawmakers from other parties are aligning with Tinubu because, despite criticisms, people recognize that he’s working to unite the country and deliver results.
“To be honest, there’s no politician alive in Nigeria today with the kind of reach and political strength President Tinubu has,” Bwala said. “He may not be perfect, but he has both the heart and the head for leadership.”
An update has been shared on the burnt building at Balogun Market on Lagos Island, as it was revealed that a man was rescued 11 days after the building caught fire.
According to reports, the man was found alive on January 6, 2026, after being discovered under the rubble of the collapsed structure.
The survivor has since been taken for proper medical care, while further details are yet to be released.
Meanwhile, passersby and market traders have expressed concern, fearing that more people may still be trapped alive inside the building.
It has been reported that Anthony Joshua has officially been discharged from the hospital following the terrible car crash that claimed the lives of his two closest friends and supporters.
The boxing star was deemed stable enough to go home after the accident. After his discharge, he visited the funeral to pay his respects and see the bodies of his two friends.
Many have expressed grief and offered their support to the boxing star, praying that he will be able to find peace, as grief will undoubtedly be one of the most painful challenges he will face in life.
It has been shared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is calling on the federal government to suspend the tax law set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
This was revealed in a statement released by Ini Ememobong, National Publicity Secretary of the PDP. He stated that this new law shows how Nigerians and the masses will be affected, arguing that the government is prioritizing finance over security and other pressing matters.
“Rather than address these issues comprehensively, the Presidency has consciously minimized them and instead insisted that the commencement date must stand, despite the discrepancies,” the party said, adding that this “clearly shows where the priority of the government lies between Nigerians and money.”
