Atiku and Lawal Clash Over ADC Primary Conduct and 2027 Bid

Atiku Abubakar’s team has dismissed Babachir Lawal’s allegations about the African Democratic Congress primary as baseless and rooted in personal disappointment. Phrank Shaibu, Atiku’s senior spokesman, said Lawal offered no evidence during a recent TV interview and relied instead on grievance and political revisionism. Lawal has intensified his criticism, warning Nigerians against backing Atiku in the 2027 election and likening his candidacy to a destructive force. He also argued that, despite its flaws, President Bola Tinubu’s administration remains a better option than an Atiku presidency, framing the choice as picking the lesser of two evils.
