I remain a Peter Obi diehard, Count me out of Atiku’s Presidential Ambition – Babachir Lawal

A former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, (SGF) Dr Babachir Lawal, has clarified that he would never support the Presidential ambition of former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

He reaffirmed his commitment to the actualization of the ambition of the Labour Party candidate, Mr Peter Obi in the 2023 general elections

According to him, Atiku’s Presidential ambition would not fly because it will amount to the transition of government from one Muslim Fulani president to another Muslim Fulani president and would be the worst form of Muslim-Muslim ticket.

He said; “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.”
