Legit.ng journalist Ridwan Adeola Yusuf has over 9 years of experience covering politics, public affairs, and governance.

FCT, Abuja - A spokesperson of President Bola Tinubu, Barrister Daniel Bwala, on Wednesday, December 11, said unlike Ghana where the opposition won the presidential election, the All Progressives Congress (APC) will retain its seat in 2027.

As reported by Vanguard newspaper, Bwala spoke when he visited the national secretariat of the ruling APC.

He said:

“Given comparative analysis, that is not to say, I am blaming the government of Ghana, but there are divergent applications of government policy.

“If you have been following events in Ghana, you would see that over the last one year and if you follow the indices, you find out that it is not the same thing that is happening in the two countries. What Mr President is doing in redirecting the economy is on the right path. Mr President is very confident.
