The opposition figure predicted that President Tinubu's political structure would outperform Atiku's in future electoral battles.

Lawal said the APC presidential candidate will defeat other candidates in a landslide victory.

He said Atiku Abubakar of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) stands no chance against Tinubu in 2027.

The former ADC chieftain stated this while speaking on Politics Tonight on Channels Television, hours after resigning from the ADC.

According to Lawal, the former vice president's manipulation of results and rigging is smaller than that of President Tinubu.

The former SGF said the best rigger will emerge in the 2027 presidential election.

“If the parameter for winning an election in Nigeria is rigging, nobody can beat Bola Tinubu in this.

“If Atiku is manipulating results at this stage, I wish him luck. He will meet the master rigger in front. And they will be the worst for it."

Atiku’s camp blasts Babachir after dumping ADC

Recall that Atiku dismissed Lawal's allegations of manipulation in the ADC presidential primary as unsubstantiated.

Atiku's camp asserted that the ADC presidential primary was transparent, reflecting the true will of party members across Nigeria.

The ADC presidential candidate said the accusations arose only after the outcomes did not favour Lawal's candidate, raising questions of credibility.
