Atiku’s Presidential Bid To Succeed Buhari Is Worst Form Of Muslim-Muslim Ticket – Babachir Lawal

Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) Babachir Lawal has stated that the Peoples Democratic Party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, would be the worst type of Muslim-Muslim ticket.

He stated that it would amount to the transfer of power from one Muslim Fulani president to another Muslim Fulani president.

The former SGF warned that Atiku’s victory would represent ethnic domination by one ethnic group over others.

Babachir Lawal stated this in a statement issued on Monday in Abuja, clarifying that he would never support former Vice President Alhaji Atiku Abubakar’s ambition.

Lawal reaffirmed his commitment to bringing the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi, to fruition in the 2023 general elections.

The former SGF, who was angered by the circulating rumor that he had abandoned Peter Obi to work for Atiku, dismissed the report. He insisted, however, that he would not support any Fulani who might undermine Nigeria’s unity due to religion or ethnicity.

The statement partly reads; “I have just seen a trending news that I have abandoned Peter Obi to work for Atiku Abubakar.

“There is nothing far from the truth as this. I have never contemplated joining PDP since its formation as I view the PDP as the worst form of a collection of oligarchs and reactionaries.

“Besides, I find myself every year battling Fulani herdsmen determined to have their animals invade my farms and eat up my crops every year. This is aside from their determination to take over the ancestral farmlands of my kinsmen as they do everywhere in the North. All these they do in a cavalier manner while their elite kinsmen dominant in the government keep mute.

“Moreover, I view a transition of government from one Muslim Fulani President to another as the worst form of Muslim-Muslim ticket. It also represents ethnic domination by one ethnic group over others. I remain a Peter Obi diehard. Any news to the contrary is fake news,” he added.
