I Will Be Tweaking My Plans To Stop Atiku From Coming Close To The Presidential Office - Babachir Lawal Vows to Block Atiku’s 2027 Presidential Ambition, Backs Tinubu for Second Term

Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, has stirred political debate after declaring that he will intensify efforts aimed at preventing former Vice President Atiku Abubakar from becoming Nigeria’s president in 2027. WATCH HIS FULL VIDEO HERE.

Lawal made the remarks while discussing the country’s political future and leadership options ahead of the next general election. 

His comments reflected a clear preference for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, whom he argued would deliver better governance outcomes than Atiku if both were assessed as potential leaders for Nigeria.

According to Lawal, his position is based on his personal evaluation of the two politicians and his belief about what would be best for the country. 

He suggested that a Tinubu administration, particularly if given another term in office, would be better placed to address Nigeria’s challenges than an Atiku presidency.

The former SGF maintained that allowing Atiku to assume the nation’s highest office would not serve Nigeria’s long-term interests. 

He argued that leadership decisions should be guided by competence, performance potential, and the ability to tackle pressing national issues rather than political sentiment.
