Former secretary to the government of the federation Babachir Lawal has said that if the health of president Tinubu permits he will go for a third term.
He stated this in a television interview where he advanced the reason as being predicated on the rubber stamp National Assembly and a docile citizens.
Hear the man otherwise known as a multi billion grass cutter:
I doubt Bola Tinubu has physical ability to go through rigorous campaigns due to physical and internal health issues. So I see it that he is not ready for a contest, because that will help him avoid physical campaign.
So he will try other means. I know my man na, we used to be together. And surprisingly, I know a lot of things they do to win elections, we used to operate together.
My thinking now is that the 2027 election result has been written, all that is required now is for the processes to exhaust themselves. The script was written 3 years ago. The result is there, the methodology is there. Why do you think he purchased all the opposition governors? Because first of all, that has denied them access to funds. All the state governors are with him, no funds for the opposition, so that no opposition governor can compete with him.
So the governors, because of the support they get from him, they are reckless with the manner they spend state funds. Therefore, now they need to work very hard to do what they did for him in 2023 which you heard Nasir Elrufai say they did for him –
