Babachir Lawal Says He Would Back Tinubu Over Atiku in 2027

Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation Babachir Lawal says his past experience with Atiku Abubakar convinced him not to support the former vice president in the 2027 presidential race. Speaking on a podcast, Lawal said he had initially considered working with Atiku because of concerns about conditions in northern Nigeria. He alleged that Atiku often reversed decisions after consulting others, describing the process as chaotic. Lawal said he would rather support President Bola Tinubu than Atiku, despite his criticism of the country’s current direction. His comments follow his departure from the African Democratic Congress and alignment with the Nigeria Democratic Congress.
