Babachir Lawal Warns Against Atiku's 2027 Presidential Bid

Babachir Lawal, who served as the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), issued a warning to Nigerians regarding the potential election of Atiku Abubakar as president in 2027. In an interview on Channels TV's program "Politics Today," Lawal characterized Atiku as a "hurricane" that could devastate the nation.

He expressed concern that electing Atiku would lead to significant negative consequences for Nigeria.
