Bwala Predicts Doom: Opposition Coalition Will Collapse Within Six Months

According to Bwala, internal conflicts and personal ambitions among key members will lead to the group’s collapse within six months.

He dismissed the possibility of the coalition posing any serious challenge to President Tinubu’s re-election bid, arguing that their internal divisions would, in fact, make Tinubu’s path to a second term smoother.

Bwala explained that the alliance would begin to crumble once the issue of selecting a presidential candidate arises, as most of the politicians involved have their own ambitions for 2027.

“All this talk of coalition always begins with a few weeks of romanticizing—‘we have ideas, we can change things’—but that quickly fades,” Bwala said during a Monday interview on Channels Television.

He cited Labour Party’s Datti Baba-Ahmed, who, according to him, already flagged the biggest threat to the coalition: the struggle over who would emerge as the presidential flagbearer, as “everybody wants to be president.”

Bwala concluded, “Mark my words, within six months, no one will even be talking about this coalition. It will fall apart.”
