The former SGF also launched a scathing attack on Atiku and his political associates, accusing them of pursuing ethnic and religious domination.

Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir Lawal, has announced his resignation from the African Democratic Congress (ADC), alleging that the party's recently concluded primary elections were manipulated in favour of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.

Lawal made the announcement in a Facebook post on Monday titled “The Kachalla Series Part 1,” in which he accused the party leadership of overseeing what he described as widespread electoral malpractice during the primaries.

According to him, the elections at various levels were allegedly rigged to ensure Atiku's emergence.

“I am exiting the ADC because its just concluded primaries were at all levels massively rigged in favour Kachalla Abubakar Atiku,” Lawal wrote.
