A former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir Lawal, has vehemently disputed the notion that there is little difference between the administrations of former President Muhammadu Buhari and incumbent President Bola Tinubu.
Speaking on Tuesday during an interview session with TVC News, Lawal insisted that equating Buhari’s government with Tinubu’s government in terms of performance is equal to not being truthful.
The former SGF also alleged that Tinubu didn’t win the 2023 presidential election.
The anchor, Nifemi Oguntoye, had said, “It is the same electoral process in 2019 and 2023, the same administration you served under, I didn’t see quite much difference between what happened then and now.”
However, before the anchor could complete his statement, Lawal interjected, claiming Buhari performed better than President Tinubu.
Naijaonpoint reports that the former SGF asked the interviewer to keep shut and be factual with his submissions.
He said, “Give me a break, my friend, look, shut up, give me a break.
“How can you say Buhari’s electoral processes are the same with Bola Tinubu’s government? What is your problem? Give me a break, be factual for once, Let’s be truthful in what we say. This government didn’t win the election.”
In order to calm the building tension in the studio, the anchor had to proceed on a commercial break before the interview continued.
