You’re attacking Tinubu because he dumped you for better running mate – APC blasts Babachir Lawal

You’re attacking Tinubu because he dumped you for better running mate – APC blasts Babachir Lawal

 The ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, has fired back at
the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Babachir Lawal,
over his recent criticism of President Bola Tinubu.

 

In a post on its X handle, the APC said that the ex-SGF is
attacking Tinubu because he (Babachir) wanted to be vice president and Tinubu
went for a better, more qualified and more refined candidate.

 

The APC described Babachir as the latest political content
creator cum soothsayer who is gasping for political oxygen.

 

According to the APC, Babachir has granted several
provocative and unwarranted interviews in the past, but none matches what it
described as the “incoherence and desperation” he displayed in his latest
television appearance on Monday.

 

“That outing revealed a deeply troubled soul, slowly
unraveling; even if wildly swinging in all directions, wearing ideological
inconsistency like a badge of honor.

 

“It was obvious that the entire performance on Channels
yesterday was nothing more than a poorly scripted attempt to bait President
Bola Ahmed Tinubu. This is the same man Babachir once swore the “wrath of God”
should fall upon anyone who stood in Tinubu’s way to the presidency.

 

“Today, he casually flings insults at that very man, calling
him names, disrespecting his office and making derogatory references. That says
everything about Babachir’s character and upbringing — a fair-weather friend,
an opportunist, clout chaser and clay footed political crusader,” it said.

 

The APC, which advised Babachir that it is not too late to
retrace his steps, however, warned him against denigrating the office and
person of president Tinubu, adding that the televised monologues do not make
him relevant but merely remind Nigerians why he is no longer in office and fast
sinking into political and community oblivion.

 

Recall that Babachir had said that the Labour Party’s
presidential candidate, Peter Obi, actually won the 2023 elections.

 

However the APC countered, stressing that Tinubu won the
2023 elections, adding that he remains Nigeria’s duly elected President until
2027

 

“Your claim that Peter Obi “won” the 2023 elections is not
only egregious but a barefaced lie. The people have spoken, the law has
sanctioned it; the courts have ruled,” the ruling party replied Babachir.
