Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, claims Bola Ahmed Tinubu significantly funded the 2015 presidential campaign that brought the All Progressives Congress (APC) to power. Lawal alleges Tinubu prioritized defeating the then-ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP) over his own presidential ambitions. According to Lawal, Tinubu explicitly stated he would postpone his own aspirations until the PDP was removed from office. This reveals a strategic focus on national change rather than individual ambition during the crucial 2015 election period. The revelation sheds light on the internal dynamics of the APC’s formation and the financial contributions that facilitated its success. This information comes as Tinubu currently serves as Nigeria’s President, fueling further discussion about the origins of his political power. The claim underscores Tinubu’s long-term commitment to shaping Nigeria’s political landscape.
