‘Cheap product’ – Babachir Lawal mocks Atiku’s presidential bid

Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Babachir Lawal, has described the presidential ambition of Atiku Abubakar as a ‘cheap product’.

In a post on his verified Facebook page on Sunday, titled ‘Kachalla Series Three’, Lawal also blasted the African Democratic Congress, ADC’s handling of its Adamawa State governorship primary.

According to him, the ADC replaced Umar Suleiman, whom he said won the party’s Adamawa governorship primary, with Tukur Moddibo.

The ex-SGF alleged that the substitution was due to ethnic considerations, claiming that Atiku influenced the decision.

He compared Atiku and the ADC’s candidate-selection process to products purchased from an online marketplace.

“As the story goes on the streets in the state, APC donated its gubernatorial candidate to the state having purchased him from TEMU the cheap online market place, and it appears that the ADC too has just done likewise, aside giving to the nation a presidential candidate that looks more like he too was a cheap product from TEMU,” he wrote.

According to him, the substitution of Suleiman with Moddibo was influenced by pressure from Atiku.

He accused the former vice president of favouring candidates on ethnic and religious grounds.
