Babachir Lawal, a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, has maintained that the primary election of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) was marred by irregularities. Speaking on Channels Television’s ‘Politics Today’ program, Lawal stated that he directly observed the process and possesses concrete evidence of manipulation.
Lawal, who previously served as the National Vice Chairman for the Northeast region, countered claims made by supporters of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, insisting that their denials are false. He argued that those who committed the fraud are now attempting to cover it up, comparing them to a thief who refuses to admit guilt.
According to Lawal, the rigging was evident from the moment the voting took place and the results were announced. He emphasized his firsthand knowledge of the proceedings, asserting that the allegations against Atiku’s camp are based on verifiable facts.
