Presidential spokesperson Daniel Bwala has said President Bola Tinubu will defeat former vice president Atiku Abubakar on election day in 2027.

This was after Atiku held an interview with Arise TV where he slammed the Tinubu administration and positioned himself as for to rule Nigeria better.

Reacting, Bwala, who once served under Atiku, reminded the former vice president that Tinubu defeated him in 2023 to become President.

He said on X, "My former boss @atiku said 'with a coalition candidate, President Tinubu @officialABAT is dead on arrival.' Lol

"But we know you are the coalition candidate YET (no vex sir), he defeated you in 2023 when you had governors, states, and structures.These governors, states and structures are with him.

"With a coalition of aggrieved 'STATELESS' leaders, I doubt if President Tinubu would bother to check the scoreboard on the day."
