Former SGF says Amaechi worked harder for the ADC ticket than Atiku and Babachir.

Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, has said that ex‑Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi worked harder for the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential ticket in the 2027 general elections.

In a back‑and‑forth exchange with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, the ex‑SGF claimed that the ADC primary that selected Atiku was massively rigged.

Lawal contrasted Amaechi’s efforts with what he described as Atiku’s low‑profile approach to the contest.

“Someone like Rotimi Amaechi was very confident that if we go to primaries he would win. Everybody around him was extremely confident that Amaechi would win,” Lawal said.

“Among the three candidates, Amaechi was the one moving around, working hard to see that he got the ticket,” he added.

Lawal had previously alleged that the primary election that produced Atiku was massively rigged, claiming to have evidence to support his claims.
