Obi Won 2023 Election” – Ex-SGF Babachir Lawal Reveals

Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) Babachir Lawal has stated that Peter Obi, the candidate of the Labour Party (LP), and not Bola Tinubu, as announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), won the presidential election on February 25.

Lawal made the claim in a statement on Tuesday.

He claimed that real information that was gathered from multiple reliable sources showed that Obi received the majority of the votes and that Atiku came second in the poll. According to him, Tinubu received a dismal third of the total votes cast.

Since the election, Lawal stated he had resisted the urge to participate in the modern political debate because he needed time to evaluate and comprehend the data that led to the result(s) and because he needed to concentrate on his farms because the rainy season had just begun.

He continued by saying that, given his hazy biographical information, which is now being made publicly available on a daily basis in an avalanche, the hot topics for political discussion and investigation right now were whether Bola Tinubu actually won the presidential election and/or whether he was eligible to run in the first place.

Lawal responded to the initial question by saying that Bola did not win the election, regardless of what the INEC or the Appeal Court stated or did.

He claimed that Tinubu chose to use all available tactics since he was aware from the beginning of the campaigns that a free and fair battle would not result in his victory.

In response to the second question, Lawal stated that morality and good ethics should have persuaded him to voluntarily withdraw from the election given the onslaught of negative information that is currently emerging about who or what Tinubu really is.

Lawal, however, expressed his belief that Tinubu still had time and chance to quit in order to prioritize his health and spare himself from shame and embarrassment in public, both domestically and globally.

He said: “Leadership is all about integrity; sound pedigree, trustworthiness and the ability to unite and instil hope and confidence in the people one seeks to lead. In these qualities, most Nigerians are in total agreement that Bola has them in very very short supply indeed.

“But now, six months down the line, the chicken has come home to roost as Nigerians have come to the realization that we have not got what we deserved politically.

“Confusion and despondency is now all over the nation as no one trusts the government to do what it says it will do. No one trusts the leader; and no one trusts appointees who are appointed as rewards for their roles in the election or who had in the past helped him in his life.

“Bola the President and his group are now in government and are in full control of Nigeria’s vast resources and opportunities. They are enjoying their offices while Nigerians languish in insecurity, poverty and hopelessness.

“During the campaign, Bola mouthed some platitudes about competence; but we are so far yet to see it reflected in his political appointments. It seems more like he is rewarding people who supported him to get the Presidency at all cost.

“This band of appointees that Bola is assembling into his government don’t care about Nigeria at all.

“Fuel prices will continue to gallop upwards until only they can afford it; the Naira will continue to race downhill in a free-fall until only they can afford anything in the market; insecurity will continue its escalation until every community in the nation is consumed by it.

“Just to mention a few of these appointees: take insecurity for example, what do you expect an accountant to do as Minister of Defense?

“Was he not that one who was governor while Bello Turji et al freely terrorized Zamfara State? What about his CBN Governor with a CV; a one-time Chairman of a little-known bank employing 300 people in less than 12 branches clustered in the South South and South East regions?

“Is there any doubt left as to his lack of qualification and experience for the job than that his first policy statement was to remove foreign exchange restrictions for the importation of 43 agricultural and related products?

“Certainly, Nigerians are in for a short thrift. The people running the government do not care a hoot about the Nigerian people; their cronies are the petroleum industry players while some are the banking system players so a free fall of the Naira and an unregulated upward movement of oil prices both work for more profits for them.

“By the way, has anyone noticed the intolerance for free speech and dictatorship that is creeping upon us? Has anyone noticed the actions of the National Broadcasting Commission of late?”
