FCT, Abuja - The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Media and Public Communications, Sunday Dare, said the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, cannot defeat the APC in Lagos State in the 2027 election.
Dare dismissed suggestions that Obi poses a political threat to the Tinubu administration.
He argued that Tinubu’s government’s performance had strengthened its position ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The presidential aide insisted that Tinubu’s administration is focused on delivering its mandate.
As reported by Vanguard, Dare stated this while speaking during an interview on Mic On Podcast on Saturday, June 27, 2028.
“This government is not afraid of Peter Obi. He is not a nightmare for our government. Maybe before, Peter Obi was a threat, but right now, he is no threat because we stand on the solid ground of performance.”
Dare said Tinubu’s administration is implementing policies and programmes aimed at addressing Nigeria’s challenges.
He said this is after carefully examining the country’s challenges.
“We have been able to interrogate the problems of this country. Decisions are being taken, policies are being unfolded across the country, and we have a scorecard to show.”
Dare also criticised Obi’s public interventions, describing some of his comments and interviews as lacking clarity.
