Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar will not win the 2027 Presidential election as his performance in the poll will be dismal trailing Peter Obi and the incumbent President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“Definitely, Atiku will lose. He will, and I pray he loses. I’m not the only one, and he will lose,” Lawal Stated.
The former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir Lawal who said the combination of Peter Obi and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso has a higher chance than that Atiku Abubakar and Rotimi Amaechi.
Lawal said the joint presidential ticket of both former Labour Party’s Peter Obi and the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP)’s Rabiu Kwankwaso who are now flying the NDC flag for the presidential election would have a stronger chance of winning in 2027 than if both politicians contested separately.
Lawal who made the remarks during an interview with Symfoni TV released on Saturday, where he assessed the prospects of leading political figures ahead of the next general election maintained that Atiku will score zero in the 2027 election.
According to the former SGF, an Obi-Kwankwaso alliance would stand a better chance of defeating other contenders, which he estimated at about 70 per cent.
“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.
