Babachir warns Atiku's 'hurricane' would 'swallow Nigeria' if elected in 2027

Former SGF Babachir Lawal warned Nigerians against electing Atiku as president in 2027, claiming his presidency would be like a 'hurricane that will consume you, it will swallow you.' The former SGF made the statement during Channels TV's Politics Today program on Monday, adding he would prefer President Bola Tinubu over Atiku if forced to choose between them. 'As bad as Tinubu's presidency is now, he would be an excellent president compared to Atiku,' Babachir stated. Atiku fell out with the former SGF following the ADC primary elections where the former SGF reportedly backed another candidate. This political positioning comes as Nigeria approaches the 2027 presidential election with Atiku representing ADC and Tinubu seeking re-election. How do you view this early political positioning ahead of the 2027 election?
