Manir Dan Ali Presses Babachir Lawal as Answers Give Way to Political Digressions

Manir Dan Ali asked Babachir Lawal on Trust TV’s Daily Politics why he left the ADC for the NDC after only a few months. The question, however, led to a long account involving party primaries, Adamawa politics, Aisha Binani, David Mark, Atiku Abubakar, Babachir’s career and other political episodes. Babachir alleged that ADC primary results were manipulated, but Manir properly pressed him for proof. The interview also touched on Babachir’s claim that the party preferred consensus arrangements, as well as the dispute around his role in the NDC. Manir challenged several claims, but he allowed Babachir to spend too much time on side stories. A firmer approach could have kept the discussion focused on the main question: why did Babachir leave the ADC, and what exactly is his role in the NDC?
