The presidency has put to rest the speculations regarding President Bola Tinubu running for re-election in 2027.
Addressing the speculations on Wednesday, Tinubu’s special adviser for public communication and media, Daniel Bwala, told journalists at the headquarters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abuja that the president “will run his course as provided by the constitution”.
According to Bwala, President Tinubu will not only contest but win the 2027 presidential election.
He claimed that Tinubu’s performance will “naturally endear Nigerians to vote him for the second term”, stressing that the president “is more than eminently qualified constitutionally to contest for a second term in office”.
He, however, said that President Tinubu is currently focused on “issues that border on the Nigerian people, to make sure that people come out of hunger, to make sure that agriculture brings about the expected revolution, to make sure that our people are able to deal with their everyday problems.
“So, the time for politicking is not yet and when that time comes we are going to be ready for everyone.
“And God willing, if God gives Mr. President life and health, we do hope that Mr. The President will run his course as provided by the constitution”.
