Your claim that Peter Obi “won” the 2023 elections is not only egregious but a barefaced lie- Presidency replies ex-SGF, Babachir Lawal

The Special Adviser, Media & Public Communication to President Bola Tinubu has taken a swipe at former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, over his recent attacks on President Tinubu.Recall that Babachir in a recent interview on Channels TV said Obi and not Tinubu won the 2023 general elections and that he is no longer friends with the President because he, Tinubu,is now too full of himself. He also mentioned that he will never take up any appointment from the government of the day because he does not believe in them,In a statement released on his X handle, Dare described Babachir as the latest political content creator cum political soothsayer who is gasping for political oxygen. Dare in his statement said the former SGF in his bid to attack the President, has granted several provocative and unwarranted  interviews in the past, but none matches the incoherence and desperation he displayed in his Channels Television interview.His statement in part reads That outing revealed a deeply troubled soul, slowly unraveling even if wildly swinging in all directions, wearing ideological inconsistency like a badge of honor.It was obvious that the entire performance on Channels was nothing more than a poorly scripted attempt to bait President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. This is the same man Babachir once swore the wrath of God should fall upon anyone who stood in Tinubus way to the presidency. Today, he casually flings insults at that very man, calling him names, disrespecting his office and making derogatory references. That says everything about Babachirs character and upbringing a fair-weather friend, an opportunist, clout chaser and clay footed political crusader.  Babachir Lawal, please look in the mirror. Your account of events wobbles and is not the only one.  Those who watch closely are only tolerating your flight of fancy for now. This indulgence will not last forever. Throw your tantrums if you must, but know when to stop short of denigrating the office and person of the President.Your claim that Peter Obi won the 2023 elections is not only egregious but a barefaced lie. The people have spoken, the law has sanctioned it; the courts have ruled. On that matter, let all else remain silent. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu won the 2023 count fair and square and remains Nigeiras duly elected President until 2027. For now, face forward.’ Now to your bizarre psychoanalysis: The problem with Bola Tinubu is that he thinks I offended him .Hes full of himself because he thinks hes the so-called president. Wake up. Smell the coffee. Bola Tinubu  is Nigerias indisputable elected  President.And in what way exactly did President Tinubu offend you? Because you wanted to be vice president and President Tinubu went for a better, more qualified and more refined candidate.Importantly, if putting Nigerias economy back on track is an offense in your book, then yes, thats the other possible way Tinubu could have offended you.Your choice of words so-called president is not only uncouth but a disgraceful denigration of the very office you once served as Secretary to the Government of the Federation. Have you forgotten the dignity that comes with that office?Your descent into playing ethnic politics exposes your narrow mindedness and the threat your likes can pose to national unity.You also declared you would have been sacked in a Tinubu administration. Instructively, you were sacked but under President Buharis government, not Tinubus. You claim you would have resigned if you were part of this administration.The truth? Whether under Tinubu, Buhari, or even your preferred Peter Obi (who still perches on the wings of mere desperation or is it aspiration), your overinflated sense of self-importance would have led to the same outcome: a quick exit.Your arrogance is not new. Was it not you, in 2017, who on hearing of your sack as SGF scoffed, Who is the Presidency? as though the presidency were a one-man office, and no one could remove you without your own permission? Such hubris then, such hubris now.Babachir Lawal, these televised monologues do not make you relevant. They merely remind Nigerians why you are no longer in office and fast sinking into political and community oblivion. It is not too late to retrace your steps!    The post Your claim that Peter Obi won the 2023 elections is not only egregious but a barefaced lie- Presidency replies ex-SGF, Babachir Lawal appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
