Tinubu Is Sick; We Pray Atiku Loses; Obi-Kwankwaso Ticket Has 70% Winning Chance –Buhari’s Ex-Secretary Babachir Lawal
Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, says the joint presidential ticket of Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso stood a stronger chance of winning the 2027 elections than if they had gone their separate ways.
Lawal bared his mind in an interview with Symfoni TV released on Saturday.
According to him, an Obi-Kwankwaso ticket would stand a 70 per cent chance of victory, while he predicted that President Bola Tinubu would have a 50 per cent chance and former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar would lose.
Peter Obi will try to be fair to everybody. Peter Obi will try to do that which is right. Peter Obi, Kwankwaso, take note, I’m pairing them. I’m pairing them. Individually will be disaster, but I’m pairing them.
“So I’ll give them, on my own scale, close to like 70 per cent. Again, Bola, 50. Atiku, zero,” Lawal said.
He stated that Atiku would not win the 2027 presidential election.
“Definitely, Atiku will lose. He will, and I pray he loses. I’m not the only one, and he will lose,” he said.
Lawal’s comments come after his fallout with Atiku following his resignation from the African Democratic Congress.
The former SGF has repeatedly alleged that the ADC presidential primary that produced Atiku as the party’s candidate was marred by widespread irregularities, claims the party has not officially accepted.
He said: “President Tinubu is not a healthy man. Nigerians are not fooled when he goes to France. I’ve said it before. He has done four years, that is enough. He should face his health.
“Bola is not even someone who is materialistic or bothered about luxury. I don’t know why people said he has amassed so much money. Sometimes, I used to talk to aides not to send his pictures out because he will be looking so unkempt.
“He wakes up in the morning and eats banana and groundnut, and that’s his food, or sometimes ogi and moi-moi.
“What I know he likes most is silk cigarettes. He smokes. He likes that a lot. He can’t do without it. I don’t know if he has stopped.”
