H.E. Atiku Abubakar this afternoon met with Aare Dr. Dele Momodu at his residence in Abuja. As always, the conversation was centred on Nigeria’s progress and the shared commitment to nation-building. The work never stops.

BABACHIR LAWAL’S BITTER RANT: THE DESPERATE GASPS OF A DISGRACED, CORRUPT BIGOT
The attention of The Atiku Movement (TAM) has been drawn to a vitriolic, incoherent, and malicious statement authored by the disgraced former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir David Lawal, circulating on social media.
Babachir Lawal attempts to cover up his political irrelevance and exit from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) by launching an unprovoked, defamatory, and brutally malicious attack on the person of His Excellency, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.
Let it be known to all Nigerians that Babachir’s resort to blackmail, insults, and wild conspiracy theories is nothing more than the classic tantrums of a political mercenary who has lost his grip on relevance.
A Reminder of Who Babachir Lawal Truly Is: The SGF of Corruption
Before Babachir Lawal attempts to lecture Nigerians on "competence," "evil," or "good governance," we must refresh his selective amnesia and remind the public of the foundational rot that defines his public career.
Babachir Lawal holds the legendary, shameful distinction of being the first high-ranking official of the Buhari administration to be unceremoniously sacked for stomach-churning corruption.
This is a man who choice-fed on the misery of fellow Nigerians, using his office to divert funds meant for the feeding, shelter, and rehabilitation of displaced victims of terrorism in the North East.
The "Grass-Cutting" Scandal: Nigerians have not forgotten how Babachir’s company, Rholavision Engineering Ltd, was awarded a multi-million naira contract to clear "invasive plant species" (grass cutting) at an Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camp.
Indictment and Sack: Following a damning investigation by the Senate and a presidential panel, he was found guilty of violating the Code of Conduct for public officers, leading to his ignominious sack as SGF.
EFCC Prosecution: He was subsequently arrested and dragged before the Federal High Court by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on multiple counts of fraud and criminal conspiracy.
For a man whose legacy is explicitly tied to stealing resources meant for dying orphans and widows in IDP camps to talk about "conscience" is the ultimate height of hypocrisy. Babachir has no moral right to speak where honorable men gather.
The Face of Religious and Tribal Bigotry:
A close reading of Babachir’s statement reveals the true source of his animosity. His bitter essay is laced with deep-seated, toxic ethno-religious hatred. By weaponizing terms like "irredentist Fulani" and "religious hegemonists," Babachir has fully unmasked himself as a tribal bigot and a religious extremist.
Babachir Lawal’s hatred for Atiku Abubakar is not based on principles, policies, or politics. It is a primal, venomous hatred driven purely by the fact that Alhaji Atiku Abubakar is a proud Muslim and a Fulani man. Babachir cannot stomach the democratic reality that a Muslim Fulani possesses the national appeal, network, and capability to salvage Nigeria. He prefers to see the nation burn through the lenses of division rather than accept a pan-Nigerian leader who transcends ethnic boundaries.
Setting the Record Straight on Atiku Abubakar:
Alhaji Atiku Abubakar's democratic credentials stand tall, untouchable by the mud-slinging of a displaced political jobber.
A Proven Democrat: Atiku Abubakar has consistently subjected himself to the democratic process, building alliances across the length and breadth of Nigeria. Unlike Babachir, who thrives in backroom conspiracies and corrupt contract inflation, Atiku builds bridges.
A Unifier: Atiku’s vision for Nigeria has always been inclusive, aimed at rescuing the nation from the economic ruin and insecurity that characterises the present day, issues that Babachir’s former administration helped lay the foundation for...
BREAKING: Frustrated Nigerian Senators Make a U-Turn, Insist on Mandatory Electronic Transmission of Results After APC Denies Them Tickets.
It is no longer a secret that many Nigerian senators are now strongly advocating for the mandatory electronic transmission of election results directly from polling units to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) server. Interestingly, these are largely the same lawmakers who, only months ago, supported the position that electronic transmission of results should remain optional rather than compulsory.
@trigottista When you see an adult talking like this. You'll all know that his bitter, he was neglected, he didn't have a chance to manipulate things, so to finish the assignment giving to him he have to write that word to do everything in favour of his pay master
The world knows NDC are moles with a mission to divide opposition votes.
I will kindly urge Peter Obi to step down from his presidential candidacy and embrace Atiku Abubakar as his VP.
NDC VP candidate; Kwankwaso, doesn’t support protests, he said “protests could lead to the breakdown of public order or the destruction of lives and property”.
I hope Nigerians are taking notes. 📝
Protect our democracy!
Would a religious bigot appoint the most devout Christian in Adamawa’s history as National Vice Chairman (North East) of the party?
A religious bigot would never marry an Igbo woman named Jennifer and raise children with her.
A religious bigot would never have a Christian Igbo man as his personal physician.
A religious bigot would never employ numerous Christians in his multibillion-dollar conglomerate.
A religious bigot would never allow a man from Michika to take his rightful seat as Governor of Adamawa, even when his Fulani kinsmen threatened to call him a “Chamba man.” Yet he made way for the first and only Christian governor the state has ever had.
A man who served as Vice President for 8 years has never allowed any of his children to be seen near the corridors of power.
You simply hate the man because he is going to be the next President of Nigeria, In Sha Allah!
