Tinubu’s Aide Slams Peter Obi as ‘Miracle Centre’ Candidate Over Skipping Primaries

Tinubu’s Aide Slams Peter Obi as ‘Miracle Centre’ Candidate Over Skipping Primaries

President Bola Tinubu’s policy spokesman, Daniel Bwala, has ridiculed Peter Obi’s 2027 bid as a “miracle centre presidential candidacy.” Bwala challenged how Obi qualified without contesting any party primaries. His remarks followed Obi’s interview on Chude Jideonwo’s podcast, where he said he would debate Works Minister Dave Umahi only if Umahi first earns a valid ticket. In a post on X, Bwala mocked Obi’s qualifications and contrasted his approach with that of successful governors and ministers. The exchange underscores growing tensions in the race for 2027.

Labeling Obi's bid a 'miracle centre' sounds more like political spin than a substantial critique of his platform.

Perhaps party rules should require candidates to prove local support through primaries or similar processes before any national nomination.
