"Peter Obi Allegedly Employed Deceptive Language Harmful to the Church, According to Tinubu's Advisor"
In a recent statement, Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Policy Communication, has expressed his belief that Peter Obi will not secure the presidential or vice presidential ticket for any major political party in the 2027 general election.
According to Bwala, a significant portion of Obi's support base has been lost due to votes being built on rhetoric and division rather than policy-driven politics. He further stated that in the 2023 election, Peter Obi used questionable rhetoric and deceived the church that he would take the country back to the church, which may have contributed to his loss of support.
Bwala also highlighted the shift in voter perception towards more agenda-based politics, suggesting that this change could make it difficult for Peter Obi to secure a ticket from any of the major parties, including the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Labour Party (LP), or African Democratic Congress (ADC).
In the 2023 election, Peter Obi polled 6,101,533 votes, finishing second behind President Bola Tinubu's 8,794,726. Bwala predicts that in the 2027 election, President Tinubu will receive more votes in the southeast than he did in 2023, possibly even six times as many.
Bwala's predictions are based on the current political climate and the support President Tinubu has garnered in the South-South region, which was previously a stronghold for Peter Obi. The advisor asserted that most governors in the region now support Tinubu, making the South-South region no longer fertile ground for Obi.
Furthermore, Bwala believes that Peter Obi will not only lose the ticket race but might also fail to emerge as a running mate. He suggested that things are not looking promising for Obi in terms of securing any significant political position in the 2027 election.
