Babachir Lawal Claims Vote Manipulation in ADC Primaries
Babachir Lawal, the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, accused the African Democratic Congress (ADC) of manipulating the results of its presidential primaries. He claimed that votes intended for former presidential aspirant Mohammed Hayatu-Deen were credited to ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
In an interview with Trust TV, Lawal expressed his dissatisfaction with the alleged irregularities, stating that his inquiries about the alterations were met with resistance, as party members insisted that the ADC could not afford to disgrace Atiku. Lawal, who supported Hayatu-Deen as the most capable candidate, revealed that he was the party’s state vice-chairman and had a role in forming a seven-member committee to oversee the primaries.
He noted that the party's guidelines dictated the appointment of the committee's chairman and secretary, with the state nominating the other five members.
