Babachir Lawal Resigns from ADC, Criticizes Atiku's Win
Babachir Lawal, the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, announced his resignation from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Abuja. His resignation follows the party's presidential primary, which resulted in Atiku Abubakar being declared the winner.
Lawal criticized the primary results, asserting that they were manipulated in favor of Abubakar, whom he accused of employing a rigging machine to secure the nomination. He stated that he would not be part of a process he deemed corrupt, particularly as the country approaches the 2027 presidential elections.
Lawal's departure from the ADC reflects significant discontent within the party regarding the primary election's integrity and the leadership direction.
