Former SGF Babachir Lawal has tipped President Bola Tinubu for a landslide win in 2027, saying the President will be difficult to defeat.
Lawal made the remark on Monday after announcing his resignation from the African Democratic Congress, ADC, in a Facebook post.
He had earlier said he was stepping away from active politics, citing dissatisfaction with how politics is practised in Nigeria. He added that he would rather focus on agriculture and church-related activities.
“I’ve just come to the conclusion that in Nigerian politics, I don’t understand how it’s practised. I don’t know how it should be practised. Maybe there are some Nigerians who know how to run their things. I don’t want to be part of anything again,” he said.
Lawal, who was part of the opposition coalition that adopted the ADC as its platform, argued that Tinubu would be difficult to defeat next year.
“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 in the front next year. And so they will be all the worse for it,” Lawal stated.
The former SGF also said he would not be supporting Peter Obi of the Labour Party.
“I won’t support Peter Obi. I don’t want to be part of anything again,” Lawal said.
