In a statement, Lawal emphasized his commitment to realizing the LP candidate’s ambition in 2023.

According to Lawal, Atiku’s ambition would not fly since it would amount to a government transfer from one Muslim Fulani president to another Muslim Fulani president, which he described as “the worst sort of Muslim-Muslim ticket.”
The former SGF was responding to reports that he had abandoned Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi in order to work for Atiku.

As a result, he cautioned that Atiku’s election would reflect ethnic dominance by one ethnic group over another, saying, “I remain a Peter Obi diehard.”


While denying the news, the former SGF stated that he would not back any Fulani individual who would harm Nigeria’s unity due to religion or race.

“I have just witnessed a trending report claiming I have abandoned Peter Obi to work for Atiku Abubakar,” the statement says.
This could not be further from the truth.
I have never considered joining the PDP since its inception because I believe it has the worst leadership.
“Also, every year, I find myself facing Fulani herdsmen who are desperate to have their animals invade my lands and eat away my crops.”
This is in addition to their ambition to seize my kinmem’s ancient farmlands, as they do throughout the North. All of this they do casually, while their elite kinsmen who dominate the government remain silent.
