Peter Obi Could Receive More Votes Than Atiku in 2027, Says Daniel Bwala

Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser on Media and Policy Communication, warned that the Nigeria Democratic Congress presidential candidate Peter Obi could receive more votes than Atiku Abubakar in the 2027 general elections.

Bwala made the comment on Friday during an interview on Symfoni TV.

He was discussing Atiku’s prospects as the next year’s general elections approach.

He said, “I fear Peter Obi might get more votes than Atiku Abubakar in the 2027 election, and my other fear is that he might come a distant fourth.”

“If that happens, his legacy as a politician in his last attempt could be affected. In the 2023 election, the PDP had several governors, senators, and representatives who supported him, but right now, there is not a single governor backing him.”

“The fact remains that Atiku Abubakar has never historically commanded more votes from the North‑West in his political career.”
