Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir Lawal, has boldly declared that President Muhammadu Buhari’s endorsement is unnecessary to defeat Bola Tinubu in the upcoming political battle. Lawal, a prominent northern leader, insisted that Tinubu’s political stronghold can be challenged through strategic alliances and grassroots mobilization.

In a recent interview, Lawal criticized the notion that Buhari’s support is a deciding factor in Nigerian politics, emphasizing that the electorate’s will and strong opposition unity are more crucial. His comments come amid rising tensions within the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and opposition parties gearing up for the next election cycle.

Analysts suggest that Lawal’s statement reflects growing dissent against Tinubu’s perceived dominance, signaling a potential shift in political dynamics. With Nigeria’s 2027 elections approaching, opposition figures are rallying to consolidate forces against the ruling party.
