Tinubu An Excellent President Compared To Atiku – Babachir Lawal

Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir Lawal, has stated that President Bola Tinubu is a better presidential candidate than Atiku Abubakar.

He argued that Tinubu’s administration is a better choice compared to what Atiku would plunge Nigeria into.

Naija News reports that Lawal made the claim during an appearance on Channels Television on Monday.

“I said it that if it must be, therefore, a choice between Atiku and Tinubu, I believe that Bola Tinubu’s presidency, as bad as it is now on a comparative level, Tinubu would be an excellent President compared to what Atiku would plunge us into.

“When you are between the devil and the devil and you must go somewhere, what you therefore do is look for a lesser devil, because even in the satanic world, devils have categories,” he said.

Meanwhile, Lawal, has said African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential aspirant, Mohammed Hayatu-Deen, is more competent than the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

Naija News reports that Lawal made the statement on Monday while featuring on Channels Television’s Politics Today.

He said Atiku’s political experience could not be compared with Hayatu-Deen’s professional and leadership background.

Asked whether Hayatu-Deen was more competent than Atiku, Lawal said both politicians could not be compared.

Lawal stated, “Hayatu-Deen is more competent than Atiku. They can’t even be in the same boat.

“They are not on the same boat and are not possibly talking about the same sea. For years, he was Chairman of the Nigerian Economic Summit Group, NESG.”

Atiku and Hayatu-Deen contested in the recent ADC presidential primary election to choose the party’s flag bearer for the 2027 presidential election.

Atiku emerged the winner after polling the highest number of votes. Former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, came second, while Hayatu-Deen placed third.
