Special Assistant to President Bola Tinubu, Daniel Bwala has declared that former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, is no longer a significant figure in Nigeria’s political landscape.
Speaking on Wednesday 7, January 2025, Bwala argued that Obi is no longer a subject of serious consideration in the country’s current political terrain.
According to him, the political relevance, momentum and public support that followed Obi during the 2023 presidential race has ended.
“Peter Obi is not, at the moment, a subject in the political terrain. His career ended in 2023,” Bwala said.
He further claimed that if Obi were to contest again, he would struggle to replicate his previous performance at the polls.
“Peter Obi will not get a quarter of the votes he got in 2023,” he added.
Bwala’s remarks follows ongoing conversations about the future of opposition politics in Nigeria and speculation over potential alignments ahead of the 2027 general elections.
