Former SGF Babachir Lawal has announced his intention to sue former Vice President Atiku Abubakar over the alleged unlawful substitution of Engr Umar Suleiman with Tukur Moddibo as the Adamawa ADC gubernatorial candidate for the 2027 election. Lawal claims that Atiku and the ADC leadership's decision to replace Suleiman, who had won the ADC primaries, violates the Electoral Act 2026, the ADC Constitution, and the Primary Elections Guidelines.
The ex-SGF asserts that this unlawful act will fail in court and will cost Atiku and the ADC the 2027 gubernatorial election in Adamawa State. Lawal also predicts that the decision will lead to serious consequences for the ADC and may force voters to choose between other political parties, besides the ADC and APC.
