Babachir Lawal Reveals How Tinubu Transformed Buhari’s Image For 2015 Presidential Election

A former secretary to the government of the federation (SGF), Babachir Lawal has revealed how President Muhammadu Buhari was packaged for the 2015 presidency.

Speaking with The Punch, the former SGF alleged that Bola Tinubu, the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), played a key role in selling the “Buhari project” for Nigerians.

According to him, Tinubu transformed Buhari’s image and rallied funds for him when he had no money to fund his presidential election.

“Everybody knows Buhari had no money and he doesn’t play money politics. So he won his presidential primary election without spending money. Also, Buharists didn’t have money; they only had ideas, zeal and fanaticism. And politics requires money,” he said.

“Tinubu, who had his tentacles spread across the corporate world, was the only man who knew where and how to raise the funds needed. He was the one that reached out to all the ‘big men’ who were at the time scared of the then President Goodluck Jonathan.

“At the time, Nigerians saw Buhari as just a wood. He had no emotions. People weren’t seeing him as a loving husband and father and doubted if he could be humane. It was Tinubu who brought in consultants from the US – the firm behind the successful execution of President Barrack Obama’s campaign. It helped to repackage Buhari to Nigerians.

“That was when you started seeing Buhari wearing a suit, and in Igbo, Yoruba and Kanuri attire. The strategy was to transform his image and show a humane, loving and trustworthy person. It helped us.

“Tinubu doesn’t like to take credit for what he does; he lives for politics, gets his money from politics and spends it on politics. He has no other interest except politics. The monies he spent out of his pocket that is unaccounted for outside of the party’s campaign finances are quite enormous. I know this because he’s my friend and because I am also involved in the Buhari government.”

KanyiDaily recalls that Babachir Lawal had also said Bola Tinubu possessed the qualities of a good modern president to succeed President Buhari in 2023.
