Ex-Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir Lawal has opened up former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.

He said; “From inception, I was with Buhari’s political structure. We lost consistently before we eventually won. Well, in those days, we had this story of some Americans who tried five, six times and eventually won.”

“Therefore, power belongs to God and He gives it to whoever He wills. But God did not tell you when your own will manifest. If some native doctors tell you then the devil is lying to you.”

“So, it is not wrong to keep on trying until it is no longer reasonable. And how is it unreasonable? It is when you get to a certain age when you become so sick and weak.”

“As long as you feel so healthy, think rationally, I do not think it is bad or wrong to contest. Meanwhile, Atiku Abubakar is not my friend. He is too senior in age, position in the society to be my friend. He was the vice president.”

“I only managed to become Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) for two years. So, he cannot be my friend. But we get along very well. We relate.”

“In fact, I like the guy. I used to tell people that as an indigene of Adamawa State, and if not because I am committed to other candidates that I feel he will do better, I probably would have worked for him. The guy is okay.”

“He relates very well with people. I have seen people he has helped. I have seen people he has destroyed. I have seen people he has ignored.”

“There is no particular reason to say because I am from Adamawa, he is my friend. In Adamawa, however, I think his political career has fatigued or it is over.”
