‘Presidential may not be your destiny’, former Aide Atiku, Bwala, tells ex-VP

Daniel Bwala, a special advisor to policy communication to the Tinubu Bola President, has suggested that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar to reconsider the long -standing president’s ambitions, showing that the path to Nigeria’s highest position may not be part of his destiny.

Speaking on Monday during the interview on TVC, Bwala encouraged Abubakar to accept the reality of Nigerian political landscape and consider supporting the government of President Tinubu in the spirit of national unity and inheritance development.

“If I have the opportunity to meet him directly, what will I say to him only this: ‘Your Majesty, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, you must believe in destiny,'” Bwala said. “God gives strength to anyone he chose. And it seems that from the facts on the grounds that it might not be God’s will to rule Nigeria.”

Bwala, he was a former supporter of the Democratic Party (PDP) opposition, and the assistant former Vice President, appealed to Atiku’s state, urged him to switch from aspirations to collaboration.

He suggested that Atiku, who had competed for the president of Nigeria six times, could still leave a significant trail in the future of the country – not by occupying the presidency itself, but by contributing significantly to the government through old relations with Tinubu.

“There are many other ways that you can contribute,” said Bwala. “Because you have been a friend to the President of Bola Tinubu for years, gathering and bringing your contribution to Nigeria that you want to make to the people of Nigeria.”

According to Bwala, such a step can re -define the legacy of former vice president, showing political maturity and national sacrifice.

“Your inheritance is that in your political dying period, you will be able to achieve some of your dreams, even through your friends,” he added.

However, Bwala warned that the continuous pursuit of the presidency could end up with disappointment, referring to the division that grew in the Atiku political camp.

“At present, from his political family, he has lost big people – maybe 60 to 70 percent,” he said. “The younger politicians who have ever followed him are now looking for power with their own rights.”

Advisor comments came when shifting loyalty in Nigerian politics, with increasing defending from PDP and other opposition parties to the decision of all Progressive Congress (APC). Speculation also increased that some governors from opposition countries could be in harmony with APC.

In March, Atiku himself acknowledged uncertainty over the future of his political, stating that the potential for nomination in the 2027 election would depend on the existence of a “decent platform.”
