Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser on Public Communications and Media to President Bola Tinubu, stated that the outcome of Ghana's presidential elections, where John Mahama won, will not have a significant impact on the 2027 presidential elections.
Bwala made these remarks during a meeting with journalists at the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Secretariat on Wednesday, December 11.
He expressed his belief that the victory of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Ghana's polls would not be replicated in Nigeria.
Bwala emphasized that Nigerians are witnessing the accomplishments of the Tinubu-led administration and would likely grant them a second term in 2027.
Bwala pointed out that Nigerians prioritize issues that affect them daily, regardless of their political affiliations.
He stated, "They don’t care whether you are white or black-skinned; what matters to them is what is on their dinner table."
Addressing the controversy surrounding the upcoming 2027 polls, Bwala emphasized that President Tinubu remains focused on governance and fulfilling his promises to Nigerians.
He said he would therefore not be distracted by political comments ahead of the 2027 presidential election, adding that he was very focused on issues that bother Nigerians to bring them out of hunger.
He assured that Tinubu was working to ensure that agriculture brought about the expected revolution and that Nigerians were able to deal with their everyday challenges.
“So the time for politicking is not yet, and when that time comes, we are going to be ready for everyone.
“The president’s agenda, which is working well, is what will naturally endear Nigerians to vote for him for the second term. He is more than eminently qualified constitutionally to contest for the second term in office.
“And God willing, if God gives him life and health, we do hope that he will run his cause as provided by the Constitution,” Bwala said.
