Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir David Lawal, has made a bold political declaration, stating unequivocally that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will win the 2027 presidential election by a landslide.
The outspoken northern political heavyweight dismissed any possibility of throwing his weight behind Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, describing such a move as completely out of the question.
Lawal’s declaration signals a significant political repositioning, as the former SGF — once a fierce critic of the Tinubu administration — now appears to be firmly aligning with the ruling APC ahead of the 2027 general elections.
His remarks are expected to send strong ripples across Nigeria’s opposition landscape, particularly as political leaders across the North continue to recalibrate their 2027 alliances.
Political analysts say Lawal’s public endorsement of Tinubu further consolidates the President’s growing support base in the North, a region widely regarded as decisive in determining the outcome of any Nigerian presidential contest.
As 2027 draws closer, all eyes remain on how these shifting political loyalties will reshape Nigeria’s electoral map.
