Defections: APC Now Fugitives’ Haven – Babachir Lawal
A former Secretary to the Government of the Federation and National Vice Chairman of the African Democratic Congress, Babachir Lawal, has described the All Progressives Congress as a new haven for fugitives fleeing from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
Lawal, while speaking on Saturday during an ADC stakeholders’ meeting in Yola, Adamawa State, declared that both the APC and the Peoples Democratic Party would be defeated in the 2027 general elections.
He said, “It is my belief that more patriots will soon join us even as the PDP self-destructs and the APC becomes a haven for EFCC fugitives”.
He accused the APC of being “delusional,” claiming that its only mantra was to “write election results even before elections begin.”
“This is pure delusion because it will not happen. Nigerians will back us to frustrate any criminal manipulation of the 2027 election results,” he asserted.
Lawal, however, warned that not every politician defecting from other parties would be accepted into the ADC, “lest they corrupt our ideals with attitudes imbibed from their corrupt, undemocratic home parties.”
He described the ADC as “a party of visionaries and patriots who are fed up with the direction of the country under the leadership of PDP and APC.”
“Every patriotic Nigerian now understands that our country has reached the edge of a cliff. The ADC offers Nigerians an opportunity to make a U-turn, recalibrate, and redirect our governance toward a progressive, people-centric system,” Lawal stated.
