Presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Atiku Abubakar, has fired back at former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Babachir David Lawal, accusing him of dangerous ethnic profiling, hollow contradictions, and substituting suspicion for evidence in a series of public attacks.
Atiku made his position known in a statement issued on Sunday by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu.
The former Vice President said it was unfortunate that a man of Babachir’s standing had chosen to abandon facts and reason in favour of ethnic prejudice and conspiracy theories in his desperate attempt to discredit a political opponent.
