Meanwhile, Henzodaily.ng reported that the presidency, through Daniel Bwala, dismissed Nasir El-Rufai’s ability to challenge President Tinubu in 2027.

Bwala argued that el-Rufai’s past electoral success was due to Buhari’s influence, asserting that without such backing, he would struggle to win a Senate seat in Kaduna.
