BREAKING: Babachir Lawal ‘Brutally Attacked’ After Comment On Tinubu (DETAILS)

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has strongly criticized Babachir Lawal, a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), for his assertions that President Bola Tinubu did not emerge as the victor in the February 25 election.

In a statement released on Tuesday and endorsed by its spokesperson, Felix Morka, the party contended that Mr. Lawal appears to have gleaned no wisdom from his recent political endeavors.

The former SGF had contended in his remarks that it was Peter Obi, the candidate of the Labour Party, who clinched victory in the election, contesting the official declaration of Mr. Tinubu as the winner by Nigeria’s electoral commission, INEC.

The statement observed that Mr. Obi’s defeat in the election seems to have had a profound impact on Mr. Lawal’s state of mind and his ability for logical reasoning, as evident in his analysis solely based on the creations of his distorted imagination.

After the election tribunal affirmed Mr. Tinubu’s victory in a unanimous decision, Mr. Obi, a former governor of Anambra State who placed third in the election, has taken his case to the Supreme Court for appeal.

Previously, the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Mr. Lawal, who was dismissed by former President Muhammadu Buhari amidst corruption allegations, was a political associate of Mr. Tinubu. However, when Mr. Tinubu selected Kashim Shettima, a Muslim, as his running mate in the election, Mr. Lawal, a Christian from Adamawa State, expressed disapproval of the Muslim-Muslim ticket. Subsequently, he left the APC for the LP, throwing his support behind Mr. Obi.

The candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, secured second place in the election. Similar to Mr. Obi, Atiku’s case at the tribunal was dismissed, prompting him to seek redress from the Supreme Court, the ultimate arbiter.

The APC advised Mr. Lawal to focus on managing his farm and refrain from becoming an unnecessary distraction, which is unbecoming of his age and stature.

BABACHIR LAWAL IS A BURDEN UNTO HIMSELF AND IN NEED OF COUNSELING

Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, emerged from his hibernation slinging incoherent aspersions on the person of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and the exalted office he occupies.

After a long hiatus leaking his wounds from the monumental electoral loss of his candidate in the last presidential election, Mr Lawal unabashedly is out again, peddling gibberish, rather than learning from his political misadventure with equanimity.

Clearly, the defeat of his principal, Peter Obi, at the poll has done incalculable damage to Mr. Lawal’s psyche and his capacity for rational thought as evident in his analysis based entirely on the figment of his warped imagination rather than on hard facts and figures. A clear sign of his disconnect from reality was his reference to the election held in May 2023, rather than February.

We challenge Babachir Lawal to give a detailed breakdown of his so-called “aggregated facts sourced from independent sources,” which he claimed proved that Obi won the election or forever keep mute. That he did not provide these facts to help Obi prove his case before the Presidential Elections Petitions Court is a massive disservice if not a betrayal of his political principles.

Babachir Lawal ought to have known that running a jaundiced commentary on a matter before the Supreme Court is the height of irresponsibility. But he is still nursing bitterness and vindictiveness over his failed dream of running on a joint ticket with Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Indeed, Babachir Lawal is in dire need of professional counselling and deserves our collective pity. It is obvious he may never get over the pain of being tossed into the dustbin of political ignominy by President Bola Tinubu who, against all odds, defeated Mr Peter Obi who exploited our religious and ethnic fault lines in his campaign for the nation’s highest office.

Thankfully, Nigerians across all ethnic and religious divides saw through Babachir Lawal’s and Peter Obi’s shenanigans and voted for the best candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

Furthermore, it is very uncharitable for Mr. Babachir Lawal to call into question the professional competence of President Tinubu’s appointees, some of whom he cannot hold a candle to their political and professional accomplishments.

Babachir Lawal is one lightweight politician who thinks of himself a heavyweight. He failed spectacularly as a politician in his State of Adamawa where in three election circles he could not deliver his ward and local government in his Hong Local Government.

Despite his legendary failure as a politician, former President Muhammadu Buhari in deference to diversity appointed him to the high office of SGF where he was unceremoniously sacked on account of very poor performance and dishonourable conduct. A man like Babachir Lawal is in no position to offer an opinion on the competence of President Tinubu’s appointees.

We are convinced that these appointees would justify the confidence reposed in them by the President by delivering on the promises of the Renewed Hope Agenda of this administration.

And while they are it, we would admonish Babachir Lawal to concentrate on managing his farm and stop constituting himself into a needless distraction unbefitting of his age and status.
