The Special Adviser to the President on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, has dismissed claims by former Vice-President, Atiku Abubakar, that a coalition-backed candidate would defeat President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general elections.
Bwala made his position known in a post on 𝕏 on Wednesday.
Atiku, speaking during an interview on Arise Television, had expressed optimism that a united opposition could unseat the current administration.
“With a coalition candidate, the President is dead on arrival. Everything is wrong with Tinubu. I’ve not seen a government that is as bad as that of Tinubu,” he said.
He further criticised the administration’s performance, particularly on the economy.
“Tinubu has been a very bad president, to be honest with you. I didn’t expect that from him… the way he governs the country, whether economically or otherwise, it’s a disappointment,” Atiku added.
Reacting, Bwala, a former spokesperson to Atiku, argued that the former vice-president lacks the political strength to defeat the President.
Bwala stated, “My former boss @atiku said ‘with a coalition candidate, President Tinubu @officialABAT is dead on arrival.’ Lol. But we know you are the coalition candidate.
“YET (no vex sir), he defeated you in 2023 when you had governors, states, and structures.”
Bwala further maintained that the proposed coalition lacks the necessary political base to challenge the ruling party.
“These governors, states and structures are with him. With a coalition of aggrieved ‘STATELESS’ leaders, I doubt if President Tinubu would bother to check the scoreboard on the day,” he added.
