Babachir Lawal Alleges Tinubu May Seek Third Term, Questions 2027 Elections

Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation Babachir Lawal has alleged that President Bola Tinubu would seek a third term if he remains alive and in office long enough. Speaking in an interview, Lawal argued that Nigeria's elections are no longer free, fair or credible. He accused political parties of manipulating their primaries and claimed similar practices could shape the 2027 general election. Lawal also expressed concern that voters may feel powerless to challenge disputed outcomes, leaving candidates to pursue lengthy court cases. His claims are his personal assessment and have not been established as fact.
