The former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, said President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will win the 2027 elections.
Daily Trust reports that Lawal exited the African Democratic Congress (ADC), condemning presidential primaries as ‘massively rigged’ in favour of Atiku Abubakar. Lawal accused the former vice president and his allies of vote-rigging and manipulation ahead of the 2027 general elections in Nigeria.
The opposition figure predicted that President Tinubu’s political structure would outperform Atiku’s in future electoral battles.
Lawal said the APC presidential candidate will defeat other candidates in a landslide victory.
He said Atiku Abubakar of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) stands no chance against Tinubu in 2027. The former ADC chieftain stated this while speaking on Politics Tonight on Channels Television, hours after resigning from the ADC.
According to Lawal, the former vice president’s manipulation of results and rigging is smaller than that of President Tinubu.
The former SGF said the best rigger will emerge in the 2027 presidential election.
“If the parameter for winning an election in Nigeria is rigging, nobody can beat Bola Tinubu in this.
“If Atiku is manipulating results at this stage, I wish him luck. He will meet the master rigger in front. And they will be the worst for it.”
Recall that Atiku dismissed Lawal’s allegations of manipulation in the ADC presidential primary as unsubstantiated. Atiku’s camp asserts that the ADC presidential primaries were transparent, reflecting the true will of party members across Nigeria.
The ADC presidential candidate said the accusations arose only after the outcomes didn’t favour Lawal’s candidate, raising questions of credibility.
