6 Sitting Governors, Ministers Urging Me To Return To APC-Babachir Lawal

Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr Babachir Lawal, who announced the decision to end his membership of ADC a few days ago, has disclosed that some APC bigwigs are urging him to return to the ruling party but he is yet to take a decision on the issue.

Team@orientactualmags.com learned that Mr Lawal, who disclosed this in an interview with a national newspaper, added that six sitting governors and ministers who are his friends, are urging him to return to APC.

‘There are about five political parties that called me on Wednesday, saying they would hand over their platforms to me if I wanted. If you hear the calibre of people who have called to commend me, you won’t believe it. As we speak, about five or six APC governors, who are my friends, have reached out and asked, ‘Oga, are you coming back home now?

I can confidently tell you that about five serving governors have reached out to me, but I am not considering a return at this moment. Even some ministers wanted to know if I will consider returning to the APC. I told them ‘no’ because the problem that made me leave the APC is still there. There is no point returning if nothing has changed. What progress have I made if I go back to meet the same issues’ he said.

Mr Babachir Lawal however noted that he is yet to decide his next course of action while he has returned to his village to engage in farming at least for now.

 ‘I have returned to my village farm for now. I don’t understand what you mean by asking about my next political destination. Was I born a politician? Must I remain in politics forever?  I have no relationship with any of these crooked politicians. We all met in Abuja and now I have left Abuja for them.

 My father was not a politician. I didn’t inherit politics from anybody. I found my way into politics and I can leave it whenever I choose’ he said.

The former SGF also said he is unperturbed as  supporters of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar continued to attack him on social media while submitting that he never betrayed the former Vice President.

 ‘I don’t have time to read or listen to any of that rubbish. It doesn’t concern me. Are those attacking me not from the same camp? They are angry because I want to scatter their jihadist plot. They should ask Bola Tinubu about me. Who are they?  What do you mean by betraying Atiku? We have never been in the same camp.

Forget what his boys are saying. Once I return to Abuja and start speaking again, they will panic and begin defending themselves as usual. I am enjoying my comfort zone for now, but if they want a fight, I will give them one’ he said-Team@orientactualmags.com  Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
