Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, has ruled out the possibility of any political figure, including former President Goodluck Jonathan, defeating Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.

Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Wednesday, August, 13, Bwala dismissed recent calls for Jonathan to contest, describing them as a ploy to damage the former president’s post-office reputation.
“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,” Bwala said.
He argued that the political landscape in southern Nigeria — Jonathan’s home region — has largely aligned with Tinubu, pointing to the support of several governors. He also questioned the sincerity of northern politicians urging Jonathan to run, noting that some of them opposed him when he was
in power.
