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.
