The All Progressives Congress (APC) has responded to a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, regarding the defeat of Peter Obi in the 2023 presidential poll. The APC stated that the defeat has caused the ex-SGF, Babachir Lawal, considerable damage.
Babachir Lawal had claimed that Peter Obi, who was the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the last polls, won the February 25 presidential election and not Bola Ahmed Tinubu as declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
However, the APC refuted this claim and challenged Babachir Lawal to provide a detailed breakdown of his so-called ‘aggregated facts sourced from independent sources,’ which he claimed proved that Obi won the election. The party also criticized Lawal for running a commentary on a matter before the Supreme Court.
The APC further accused Lawal of nursing bitterness and vindictiveness over his failed dream of running on a joint ticket with Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. They suggested that Babachir Lawal is in need of professional counseling and deserves collective pity..
