We’ll handle Atiku the way we treated Tofa in Adamawa – Babachir Lawal

Former Secretary to Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal has stated that Atiku will be given Tofa treatment in his Adamawa state in the coming 2023 general election.

IDOMA VOICE reports that the former SGF said Bola Tinubu, APC, presidential candidate will win Adamawa state, even though, Atiku is from the state.

Babachir Lawal stated that the treatment Tofa received during the 1993 general election that was annulled, will be served Atiku to ensure that Tinubu wins Adamawa and North in general.

In 1993, Tofa, the Presidential candidate of the National Party of Nigeria, NPN, was beaten in his own Kano State by Chief MKO Abiola of the Social Democratic Party, SDP, in an election that was judged the free and fairest election ever conducted in the country.

The election was however annulled by the then Military Head of State, Ibrahim Babangida.

In an interview on Channels Television, Babachir, said, “We are there, and we are the ones from Adamawa who will deliver Bola Tinubu in the same way that we delivered Buhari while Atiku was contesting; in the same way, Adamawa delivered Goodluck Jonathan while Atiku was contesting, so it is not a new thing.

“We have our tentacles all over the state; it is our state, and we know our tendencies. Bola Tinubu will win Adamawa state.

“Whether he makes it or not, only God knows, but we will work towards it and we believe that we have the instruments, we have the resources – both material and intellectual – to deliver Bola Tinubu as the President.

“Tinubu is a very good man. He is a very kind man, and you need to hear from some of the people he has helped, so many all over the country.

“He has sponsored people in Taraba, in Adamawa, in Gombe; he is somebody that has been helpful to almost every politician across the country.”
