Babachir Taunts Atiku, Says Tinubu Is The Master

Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) Babachir Lawal has suggested that unseating President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 election will be very difficult.

Lawal stated this during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Monday, shortly after announcing his resignation from the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

Lawal asserted that Tinubu would win a landslide victory in the upcoming election.

The former SGF said he had decided to step away from active politics, citing dissatisfaction with the way politics is practised in Nigeria.

According to him, he would rather focus on other pursuits, including agriculture and church-related activities.

“I’ve just come to the conclusion that in Nigerian politics, everybody is… I don’t understand how it’s practised. I don’t know how it should be practised. Maybe there are some Nigerians who know to run their things. I don’t want to be part of anything again,” he said.

Lawal, who was a member of the opposition coalition that recently adopted the ADC as its political platform, argued that Tinubu would be difficult to defeat in the next election.

“Tinubu will win with a landslide. If the parameter for winning the election in Nigeria is rigging, nobody can face Bola Tinubu.

“If Atiku’s strength is in manipulating results, he will meet the master leader in the front next year. And so they will be all the worse for it,” Lawal stated.

The former SGF also added that he won’t be supporting Peter Obi of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC). He said he didn’t want to be part of anything again.

“I won’t support Peter Obi. I don’t want to be part of anything again,” Lawal said.
