Bwala Predicts Tinubu's 2027 Election Victory Margin Will Increase

Daniel Bwala, the Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Policy Communication, has predicted that President Bola Tinubu will win the 2027 presidential election by a larger margin than in 2023. In an interview reported by Channels Television, Bwala expressed confidence that Tinubu's performance in 2027 would surpass his previous election results.

He stated, “The margin of gap that President Bola Tinubu will give each and everyone of these candidates will be so much that you won’t believe it.” In the 2023 presidential election, Tinubu secured 8,794,726 votes, defeating Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party by 1.81 million votes and Peter Obi of the Labour Party by 2.69 million votes. Bwala attributed his optimism to the growing support for Tinubu among governors who have defected from opposition parties to the All Progressives Congress since the last election.

He anticipates that more governors will support Tinubu in 2027 than did in 2023. Bwala's comments reflect his political assessment rather than a definitive election outcome.
