Throwback: Tinubu Made My Appointment As SGF Possible - Babachir Lawal by trutharena: 5:37pm On Jul 30, 2022
SECRETARY to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Babachir David Lawal, yesterday, said the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, and Chief Bisi Akande made it possible for him to emerge as a member of President Muhammadu Buhari’s cabinet.

Speaking at a thanksgiving service in his honour, the SGF said the two leaders of the APC played a prominent in his emergence, saying it is fundamentally important for Nigerians to know that goodness is not restricted to tribe, religion or political party.


“My wife has not met Bisi Akande, she has not met Asiwaju, she has not met Buhari, yet we have been with him. But, it is fundamentally important for Nigerians to know that goodness is not restricted to tribe, religion or political party”, he said.

“My opinion is that if you have no investment in human beings and you just invest in yourself, like most politicians present in this church do, you will end up as nothing. If you look at just your community for friendship, or you look at your religion or in the same church with you for friendship, I doubt if you will go any where.

“I am Secretary to the Government today, because those people that I mentioned were the very first to put the idea in the mind of the President. They were the ones that made it possible.

“Because if it has been left to northerners, it is doubtful if they will take a Christian man to make Secretary to the Government of the Federation”.

“But these friends know me, they know that I am not ambitious. I just want to eat today and tomorrow I will find my way. By the grace of God, I am today the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, something I did not look for, people say it is hard work and dedication. It is not true, it is just by the grace of God that the President will just pick you and say this is your position”.

“I never looked for it and I never expected it. I started getting hints to this job just about two to three days to it, and I thought it was a very big joke. Then I used to call it Timipre Silva project or Baba Akande project, when they mentioned that they heard story about it”.

“Last year, if I was told that I will have an occasion where one single governor will attend, I will not believe it, but here we are today, it is the grace of God that has put all of us where we are today. Governors should know that”.

The same ingrate Babachir Lawal now remembered Asiwaju don’t like the Northern Christians.

In the history of our politics since 1999, a Northern Christian have not been appointed SGF before but Tinubu and his boys made it happen in the name of Babachir.

Back then Babachir claimed himself that without Tinubu, a Northern Christian wouldn’t have attained that position.

Now same man is up in arms. In this life, expect nothing from anyone no matter the help you render.

Below is the statement of the Babachir Lawal in 2015.

In 2022, when Asiwaju had to make the move of his VP candidate due to the numbers and calculation, he went up in arms against his benefactor.

That is why in politics, loyalty is rare.

“I am Secretary to the Government today, because those people that I mentioned were the very first to put the idea in the mind of the President. They were the ones that made it possible.

“Because if it has been left to northerners, it is doubtful if they will take a Christian man to make Secretary to the Government of the Federation”.

Which Boko Haram representative?

Babachir Lawal might decamp to PDP as things are going.

Now the same Northern minorities have been shouting that Fulanis are massacring them. Ortom has been barking like dog that Fulanis are exterminating them.

Yet, they are mad at a southern Muslim coz of his choice of Vice and still trying to famz another Fulani in Atiku.

Nigeria is the more you look, the less you see.

Turned to slave? How exactly will he turn to a slave?

Tinubu never turn his wife and kids that are Christian to slaves, shey na Northern christians he got come turn to slave?

Is Atiku not a Muslim and a Fulani man? So Ortom barking all these years about Fulanization suddenly forgot Atiku tribe?

Tinubu made buhari president
Tinubu made bachir ssg
Tinubu made osinbanjo vp
Tinubu made aisha first lady
Tinubu made everybody what they are.

Yet it does not mean you delete your conscience and stand or support evil when you see one.
Any reasonable fellow knows that a muslim-muslim or christian-christian ticket will tear whatever is remaining of the country.

Op, I hope you are not expecting Mpurumirin addicts (Not all Igbo) to reason with you, as you make this post. Nothing good that has to do with Tinubu/Yoruba will ever impress them.


People whose ancestors hated Awolowo and Abiola, I don't expect them to like Tinubu for one second. I will not curse them now, until Tinubu become president and they start crying marginalization, that's when Amadioha will strike their Yam legs.

How Tinubu wrong with the Muslim Muslim ticket? The last president of the usa had a Muslim Christian ticket the present one is on a Christian Christian ticket without Americans shouting like lunatics the way many igbos are doing now. What does that say about the foolishness of your tribesmen.

Very true. Babachir’s case is worse than an ashiwere. Here is someone Tinubu pushed for to be SGF. He got the position and messed himself up. Still, Tinubu never stopped supporting him. It’s so annoying seeing what he has now turned himself into.

Dogara has always been a serial betrayer so his behaviour doesn't surprise me either. They've both demonstrated that neither of them would've been loyal deputies to a Tinubu presidency. In that respect, I think it's fitting to say Baba dodged a bullet by avoiding both men.

Maybe he was not a Christian then.

Like Osinbajo and Tambuwal, many ingrates abound in the political space.

They are only loyal when they are poised to benefit, like Dogora and Babachir were following Tinubu everywhere before he became the APC candidate. Infact, they already thought Tinubu was finished when he gave the Olule speech, so they already went their way thinking they could not be running mate anymore to a Tinubu who would lose to the cabal candidate.

Only Shettima remained loyal and steadfast, and even defended Tinubu over the outburst, unlike Babachir that threw Tinubu under the bus over that speech.

Some opportunistic politicians even swore not to leave APGA as seen below.

No integrity, no shame.

Osinbajo did the same and what's the result?Even Dogara came to limelight through a Muslim.

Babachir and Dogara are just bittered they aren't picked as the VP candidate nothing else.

Thank God, Asiwaju knows about these type so there's always a way to maneuver them at the right time.

With or without Lawal and Dogara, Asiwaju is winning the next election Insha Allah.

He his a disgrace to us Christians who had hoped Northern Christians like him would make the most of the opportunities that Buhari afforded them as SGF.

I challenge anyone to prove Tinubu as a religious or ethnic bigot. Tinubu has a golden heart and does his things based of on humanity regardless your background. Babachair Lawal and Dogara believe that if they cannot have it, they better destroy it. Tinubu had lost many things he wished he had in the past yet moved on for bigger possibilities.
Tinubu has employed in his businesses especially those from a section of the country who today hate him for doing no wrong to them.
God will vindicate him.
