Daniel Bwala, former spokesperson for Atiku Abubakar, declared that President Bola Tinubu is set to lead Nigeria for eight years, following a recent Council of State vote of confidence. Bwala dismissed criticism and protests, asserting that Tinubu’s leadership will continue if reelected in 2027.
In a recent statement, Daniel Bwala, who formerly served as a spokesperson for Atiku Abubakar's 2023 presidential campaign, asserted that President Bola Tinubu is set to lead Nigeria for a full eight years. Bwala's comments, shared on social media platform X, came in the wake of a recent vote of confidence by the Council of State, suggesting that Tinubu's presidency will likely continue through two terms if he secures reelection in 2027.
Bwala emphasized that the Council of State's endorsement signifies a firm commitment to Tinubu’s leadership, regardless of the criticisms the administration has faced. He challenged the political opposition, suggesting that their attempts to undermine Tinubu's tenure reflected outdated views of democracy, where control over leadership was paramount.
Despite ongoing economic challenges and widespread protests under the banner of "EndBadGovernanceInNigeria," which saw citizens demonstrating for ten days, the Council of State, which includes past presidents and military leaders, reaffirmed its support for Tinubu. This vote of confidence, according to Bwala, highlights the determination to maintain stability and reject any attempts at backdoor regime change.
Bwala's remarks underscore a broader debate in Nigeria about leadership and governance, emphasizing the need for acceptance of the current political reality while addressing the pressing concerns of citizens.
