Babachir Lawal Opens Up on Working with Atiku Abubakar

Babachir Lawal, the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, stated that he could not work with Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), due to his commitment to the administration of the late President Muhammadu Buhari. In an interview with JKD Media, Lawal emphasized that he is not a man of divided loyalty.

He expressed a desire to collaborate with Atiku now that Buhari has returned to Daura. Lawal mentioned efforts to unite the North for bloc voting, indicating that he had reached out to notable figures, including Tambuwal, to discuss the importance of unity among Northern candidates.

He noted that their meetings expanded from five people to a hundred per state, reflecting a growing consensus on the need for collective support for a candidate.
