Daniel Bwala, the Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Policy Communication, has stated that Peter Obi is unlikely to secure the presidential tickets from the Labour Party (LP), African Democratic Congress (ADC), or the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the 2027 elections.

During his appearance on Channels Television’s ‘Politics Today’ on Wednesday, Bwala suggested that Obi might not only miss out on the presidency but also possibly be passed over for a vice-presidential position.

Bwala argued that Obi's support has waned by over half because his influence was rooted more in rhetoric and division rather than solid political plans and policies.

“I tell you, he is not going to get a ticket in any of the parties; that is Peter Obi.

“Now, the problem is that he may not even get the vice presidential ticket from the way things are going.

“But whether Peter Obi is a ticket bearer of the party, Peter Obi has lost more than 50 per cent of his votes. Because they were not votes that were built on agenda and politics.

“They were built on rhetoric and division, and Nigerian people’s eyes are open,” Bwala said.
