Bwala Predicts Tinubu's 2027 Election Victory Margin Will Increase

Daniel Bwala, the Special Adviser to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Policy Communication, has predicted that Tinubu will win the 2027 presidential election with a significantly larger margin than the 2023 election. Bwala made this statement on the night of October 7, 2026, discussing the president's electoral prospects.

In the 2023 presidential election, Tinubu received 8,794,726 votes, defeating the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) by 1.81 million votes and Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP) by 2.69 million votes. Bwala expressed confidence that Tinubu would improve on these numbers in 2027, attributing his prediction to a political shift in the country.

He noted that several governors elected on opposition party platforms have defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC), indicating growing confidence in Tinubu's leadership. Bwala anticipates that even more governors will align with Tinubu for the 2027 elections compared to those who supported him in 2023, which he believes will enhance electoral performance across various states.
