Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation Babachir Lawal forecasts a decisive victory for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election. Lawal shared his views during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today program shortly after announcing his departure from the African Democratic Congress via Facebook.
Lawal revealed he is stepping back from active political involvement because he feels disillusioned with Nigeria’s political landscape. He expressed a desire to concentrate on other endeavors like agriculture and church work. “I’ve concluded that Nigerian politics is something I no longer understand or wish to be part of,” he said.
According to Lawal, Tinubu appears invincible in the coming election. He stated that if election rigging is considered a factor, no opponent can match Tinubu’s perceived prowess. “If Atiku relies on manipulating results, he will face a master in this arena next year. It will be worse for them,” Lawal asserted.
Lawal also clarified that he will not back Peter Obi of the Nigeria Democratic Congress. He reiterated his decision to stay away from all political activities.
