Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation Babachir Lawal criticises former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s presidential ambition, describing it as a “cheap product.” Lawal makes the remarks in a Facebook post dated Sunday titled “Kachalla Series Three.” In the post, he also directs criticism at the African Democratic Congress (ADC) over how it handles its Adamawa State governorship primary.
Lawal alleges that the party replaced Umar Suleiman, whom he says won the primary, with Tukur Moddibo. He claims the decision is influenced by ethnic considerations and pressure linked to Atiku. Vanguard also reports that Lawal threatens legal action connected to the substitution.
The outlets largely mirror the same thrust: Lawal’s comparison of the situation to “cheap” items from the online marketplace TEMU and his view that ADC’s candidate selection in Adamawa reflects external influence. While the accounts differ mainly in the extent of added detail—such as Vanguard’s explicit reference to potential legal steps—they agree on the core allegations and the “cheap product” characterization.
