Presidential aide, Daniel Bwala has made a bold assertion that his former principal and former vice president, Atiku may not have been destined to be the president of Nigeria.
“There is my former principal who believes that he is going to win,” Bwala said on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Monday, as he dismissed the chances of Atiku and other opposition coalition figures like Peter Obi and Rotimi Amaechi to unseat President Bola Tinubu in 2027.
“In all honesty, I have expressed my opinion that it may never have been destined by God for him to be a president in Nigeria because he has done everything he needs to do to be president and he did not win the presidency.
“2023 was the biggest opportunity that my former principal Atiku Abubakar had. He will never have that kind of privilege again,” he said.
Bwala said that the African Democratic Congress (ADC), which was chosen as the platform for the new opposition coalition formed to oppose the Tinubu-led government, lacked the strategies and concepts necessary to win over the public.
Months after the 2023 election, Bwala, who had been a spokesperson for Atiku’s campaign, changed sides and sided with Tinubu.
“What I still find intriguing is that this coalition of internally displaced politicians have not been able to summon the courage and come up with alternative facts, alternative policies or alternative programmes.
“Throughout the interview you had with Peter Obi, what I find is that he has not been able to counter or to disagree in the real sense of the word with the policies that we are implementing,” he said.
