Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, (SGF), Dr Babachir Lawal has reacted to reports that he’s planning to join the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). <\/p>\n

Media reports had claimed Lawal was planning to join the PDP<\/a> due to his grievances with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) over the controversial Muslim-Muslim Presidency. <\/p>\n

Reacting to the reports, Lawal said he had no plans to join the PDP to spite the APC over its choice of presidential candidate and running mate.<\/p>\n

He said he would rather quit active politics on May 29, 2023, when President Muhammadu Buhari would have completed his second term in office.<\/p>\n

Babachir Lawal in a statement made available to our correspondent in Abuja on Wednesday said he would go back to his farm and remain an elder statesman next year.<\/p>\n

In the statement, the former SGF clarified that his visit to former Vice President and currently Presidential candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar to condole him on the death of his Personal Assistant was misconstrued as defection to the opposition party.<\/p>\n

Babachir Lawal\u2019s statement read in part \u201cIt has just been brought to my notice that I have defected to the PDP. This is not true. This is fake news.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust like other politicians including some in the APC, I visited VP Atiku yesterday to condole him over the death of his PA and I noticed some people took my pictures. I suspect this fake news must have originated from this episode.<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite our being in separate political parties, Atiku and I are like brothers and I am always warmly received in his home.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am still a member of the APC and have no plans to leave it for any other party. In fact, I am considering leaving party politics altogether so as to remain an elder statesman.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had joined politics just because of President Muhammadu Buhari and will therefore have no further motivation to remain so after 29th May, 2023.<\/p>\n

\u201cI find the pleasure and comfort of my farms more attractive and rewarding\u201d, the statement said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
