Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, has said that no Nigerian politician can defeat Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.
He recently revealed that he just does not see anybody conquering BAT in the next polls, including GEJ.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Bwala rubbished recent reports calling for GEJ to contest, describing them as a plan to damage the former president’s post-office reputation.
According to him, GEJ’s Southern Nigeria region has largely aligned with Tinubu in recent years, and with the support of various governors growing as the days roll by, defeating BAT will be an impossible mission for Goodluck Jonathan.
He questioned the motive of the Northern politicians asking GEJ to run, insisting that some of them opposed him when he was in power.
“I see that some unscrupulous elements are trying to hoodwink former President Goodluck Jonathan to come into politics so they can destroy his reputation, which, after he left government, he has been building by becoming an international figure globally.
The elements that are going to him in the north, asking him to come to run, were they not the ones that chased him away?
So what hope does he have that this time around, they are calling him because they mean well for him? Then look at the political class that is coming together to cajole him to come into politics. I know President Goodluck Jonathan is smarter than that,” he said.
Bwala further noted that Tinubu would definitely prevail against Jonathan or any other contender in 2027.
He concluded by saying that the political climate in Nigeria today clearly points to a landslide victory for the president.
“But if President Jonathan decides to run, let me tell you, I have seen the political climate in Nigeria today, and I will speak to facts, not conjecture. There is not a single politician that has the capacity to knock off President Bola Tinubu,” he added.
