2027: Atiku should be replaced as ADC presidential candidate – Babachir Lawal

Babachir Lawal

Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir Lawal, has reiterated his position on Atiku Abubakar being the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

Taking to his official Facebook account on Saturday, Lawal, who recently resigned from the ADC after alleging that the primaries were manipulated in favour of Atiku and his associates, urged the party to replace the former vice president with someone else.

According to the former SGF, Nigerians have a responsibility to interrogate the character and competence of those seeking the presidency.

“No, it is my right to interrogate the character and competence of someone who seeks to be my President. He is free to step down his ambition if he does not want to be so queried.

“Indeed, I would urge ADC to replace this man with a more qualified candidate if they want to have any hope of winning the presidential election before INEC timetable runs out on them,” Lawal stated.
