Bwala said:
"Let me tell you and let me say it categorically and I will be happy to come back. 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."
Tinubu's 2023 election performance
Recall that in the 2023 presidential election, Tinubu secured 8,794,726 votes, defeating Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) by 1.81 million votes and Peter Obi of the Labour Party by 2.69 million votes. Bwala is confident the president will improve on those numbers in 2027.
The presidential adviser linked his prediction to a broader political shift taking place across the country. Since the 2023 election, a number of governors who were elected on opposition party platforms have defected to Tinubu's All Progressives Congress (APC), a trend Bwala said signals growing confidence in the President's leadership.
Governors' defections fuel APC confidence
Bwala said he expects even more governors to align with Tinubu heading into 2027 than those who backed him during his first presidential run, which he argued would translate into stronger electoral performance across multiple states.
Peter Obi, one of the candidates expected to challenge Tinubu again, resigned from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) on May 2, 2026, and was ratified as the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) on May 29, 2026, ahead of the 2027 general elections.
