Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, (SGF), Babachir Lawal, has described the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the worst form of collection of Oligarchs and reactionaries.
He vowed not to support the party and its Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar because of his yearly battle with Fulani herdsmen.
Babachir Lawal, who spoke against the backdrop of reports making the rounds that he had abandoned the camp of Peter Obi for Atiku Abubakar, in a statement today, December 12, in Abuja, said that Fulani’s animals have been invading his farms and eating up his crops in the last seven to right years.
According to him, Atiku’s presidential ambition would not fly because it would amount to the transition of government from one Muslim Fulani president to another Muslim Fulani president.
Babachir Lawal said that such arrangement would be the worst form of Muslim-Muslim ticket.
The statement read in part: “I have just seen a trending news that I have abandoned Peter Obi to work for Atiku Abubakar.
“There is nothing far from the truth as this. I have never contemplated joining PDP since its formation as I view the PDP as the worst form of a collection of oligarchs and reactionaries.
“Besides, I find myself every year battling Fulani herdsmen determined to have their animals invade my farms and eat up my crops every year. This is aside from their determination to take over the ancestral farmlands of my kinsmen as they do everywhere in the North.
“All these they do in a cavalier manner while their elite kinsmen dominant in the government keep mute.
“Moreover, I view a transition of government from one Muslim Fulani President to another as the worst form of Muslim-Muslim ticket. It also represents ethnic domination by one ethnic group over others.
“I remain a Peter Obi diehard. Any news to the contrary is fake news.”
