BREAKING: Tinubu Better Than Atiku — Babachir Lawal Resigns from ADC

Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir Lawal, has resigned from the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

This comes days after the emergence of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar as the party’s presidential candidate for the 2027 election.

Lawal stated that President Bola Tinubu would make a far better president than the former vice president. He alleged that the results of the recently concluded ADC presidential primary were entirely pre-written to favour Atiku, declaring that he refused to be part of what he described as Atiku’s rigging machinery.

His statement reads:

The Kachalla Series Part 1

I  am  exiting the ADC because its just concluded primaries were at all levels massively rigged in favour Kachalla Abubakar Atiku. I sense a conspiracy of silence of which i want no part of Most members of the party are behaving as if this is the normal thing to do. Results were just written or rewritten to favour him and his coven. Even where they allowed some semblance of election to hold, the winners were simply replaced with members of his  syndicate. In the real sense it was a disgraceful charade.

I am  doing so because I do not intend to be part of Kachalla Atiku’s rigging machine in the 2027 general elections and I cannot avoid doing so if I remain in the party.  The man and his cabal are just irredentist Fulani and religious hegemonists. For me, working for Kachalla Atiku means giving Tinubu an automatic ticket to a second term which gives me nightmares. I believe Tinubu might, comparatively speaking,  end up a better Nigerian president than Kachalla Atiku could ever be (as bad as Tinubu  currently is  and possibly could ever be). The choice in 2027  it seems will be a Morton’s fork.

I did not join the ADC to make Nigeria progressively worse so my beliefs and conscience won’t allow me partner with the evil that Atiku and his people represent. For, with close to 25 adult children, 6 wives (past and present, some offshore) and a heavily shrunk decapitated business empire, I foresee 25 Seyi Tinubus and 6 Remi Tinubus; a prospect that has been keeping me awake all night with worry. And who knows which Chagouri’s might be lurking around the corner waiting for an Atiku bazaar?

I would have thought that  the Northerners who helped  rig the primaries for a near-senile octogenarian they all  know to be an incompetent, tribal and religious bigot would be the ones that should crave the most  a good post-2027  governance seeing as Tinubu has driven its people to total destitution.  I would have thought that when Northerners insist on a northern president  they would be thinking of one that will stop the downward spiral into poverty and insecurity not an  ineptocrat like Kachalla Atiku.  Alas, a leopard cannot change its spots. The North, it seems, is perpetually doomed to self-harm.

While I will  be tweaking   my plans for the future  and consulting with like-minded colleagues on how to stop this incompetent octogenerian from coming close to the presidential office, I will in the meantimd  retire to my village farm from where I will be watching Kachalla Atiku and his band of wicked vote  riggers and result manipulators  mercilessly out-rigged and beaten  to pulp by Tinubu’s ruthless and superior rigging machine.

Then, it will be bye bye to this octogenarian presidential wannabe. It will be bye bye to the North for prefaring a religious hegemonists over a competent world-renown economist and corporate guru.
