President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will seek re-election in the 2027 poll, according to his Special Adviser on Public Communication and Media, Daniel Bwala.
In a chat with reporters, yesterday, at the national Secretariat of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abuja, Bwala explained that Tinubu would not be distracted by the antics of the opposition ahead of the 2027 poll.
“He is very focused on issues concerning the Nigerian people, to ensure that people come out of hunger, to ensure that agriculture brings about the expected revolution, and that our people are able to deal with their everyday problems.
So, the time for politicking is not yet, and when that time comes, we are going to be ready for everyone,” he said.
He assured that Tinubu’s performance would surely endear him to the electorate to vote for him for a second term in office.
“If God gives the President life and health, we do hope that he will run his course as provided by the constitution,” he stressed.
Asked whether the Presidency is jittery going by the outcome of recent Ghana poll won by John Mahama of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), he said there was no basis of comparison between the political and socio-economic developments in the two countries.
He added, “The idea of the ruling party losing the election will not happen, because Nigerian people are seeing what the administration is doing. Nigerian people only care about what they are confronted with every day.
“They don’t care whether you are white or black skin or whatever, as long as what matters to them on their dinner table is dealt with, Nigerian people will always stay with you and that is what the President is doing.”
