Atiku, Tinubu or Obi: Ex-SGF Babachir Mentions Who North Will Back in 2027
Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, suggested a shift in the criteria for selecting a presidential candidate for the 2027 Nigerian election, moving away from the standards used in the 2023 election. Lawal also disclosed a new political strategy for the North in the upcoming election, emphasizing unity and voting bloc support.
He mentioned that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and President Bola Tinubu have shown interest in contesting the 2027 election. Lawal hinted that the North may back Labour Party's 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, in the upcoming poll.
He criticized the current administration's appointments and expressed uncertainty about their support in the 2023 election. Additionally, PDP chieftain Umar Sani preferred Goodluck Jonathan as the party's presidential candidate over Peter Obi.
Lawal's remarks indicate a complex and evolving political landscape in Nigeria.
