Flashback: 3 muslims made me SGF, reveals anti-muslim Babachir Lawal
P.M. News Nigeria


Former secretary of the government of the Federation, Babachir David Lawal, now on a campaign of calumny against Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his running mate Kashim Shettima, over their faith, once warned against relating to people on this basis.

At a thanksgiving in Abuja in October 2015 to mark his appointment, he revealed that he got the post with the help of Tinubu and Chief Bisi Akande, who were not related to him, but happened to be muslims.

“Goodness is not restricted to tribe, religion or political party”, he said in a report by Vanguard reporter, Emman Ovuakporie.

“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.”

Tinubu, Akande made my appointment possible – Lawal, SGF

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”.

Tinubu lauds appointment

In his speech at the occasion, Tinubu described the SGF’s appointment as a step in the right direction, expressing optimism that he would bring his wealth of experience to bear in the office.

Tinubu extolled Lawal’s qualities, saying that while some of his contemporaries have succumbed to the temptation of illicit wealth and the abuses of power and privilege, he (Lawal) has remained faithful to the course of the nation.

Alluding to the fact that his appointment was a reward for hard work and selfless service, he said Lawal’s eye for detail and due process makes him the best man for the job.

Tinubu, represented at the event by Lagos State governor, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode, said, “If you are looking for a man who is diligent in his work with a keen eye for details and correct process, there is none better than Babachir Lawal”.

“He knows this nation and understands its complexities, from the intricacies of our federal bureaucracy to the diversity of our social fabric to the, multiple dimensions of our political dynamics.

“He is a man well-tailored to fit his position in today’s Nigeria where we find ourselves in a situation not meant for the faint hearted. A situation that requires grit, guts and wisdom. These attributes, Lawal has in abundance”.

Oh I think we should accept the Muslim-Muslim candidates because they helped the former SGF.

Una mumu sha, Muslim/Christian we are suffering like this and insecurity is ravaging the nation, Muslim boko haram, bandits and Fulani herdsmen are killing, kidnapping and raping Nigerians like this, just imagine when a Muslim known thief and a Muslim known boko haram is voted into office

The same Babachir Lawal that used the Nigerian air force to bomb an IDP camp 4x, thereby killing about 600 people including the aid workers, to cover up his corruption? Yeah, Tinubu tried.

I know Lawal and dagora are saying all this because one of them is not chosen. Not because they care about the Christian faith. But, God is using them to destroy that evil party from within.

Now the story has changed.
It's true that over time, a mad man will forget previous good deeds.
Tinubu has become a christian-hater to you now,
So much that him not being elected President is the only thing that can guarantee the continued existence of christianity in Nigeria.
Ingratitude is a sin Oga David.

If you like make him prime minister. a muslim-muslim devilish ticket is a recipe for calamity. sane Nigerians have already rejected the evil plot. No matter what happens, Tinubu and his Boko Haram sympathiser running mate will never enter the rock of Aso

“I plan for betrayal, I plan for backstabbing,I also plan for reunion and forgiveness long before they happen. In life,I expect nothing,I expect anything,I expect everything."
- Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Asiwaju wasn't capping, these are the kind of people he was talking about. Babachir Lawal is an ungrateful self serving snake, and 100 of him can't stop Asiwaju.

Agbado urchins doing everything to justify a MM ticket. My question still remain will the northern region allow a Christian/Christian ticket after A Christian President is about to finish his presidency on a major political platform
Will they be screaming competence over religion like they are doing now ??

I’m sure if reverse were to be the case churches would have been going up in flames in the north after their sheiks, imams, emirs, and sultan must have declared a Jihad first.

They are currently doing what they can’t tolerate at all.

The Ingrate.

Tinubu and the Muslims didn't discriminate against him but now he's discriminating against Tinubu and Muslim ticket just because of his selfish interest. As a matter of fact, what did he do when he was given a post? He did nothing but looted away yet wants the presidential ticket?

Point is Tinubu chose someone from the core North. He chose one of the core North which happens to be Muslim since they're all Muslims anyway. The criteria is Northern and Southern.

Meanwhile, the big churches are in Lagos. Were they islamised? If Tinubu didn't islamise his wife and Lagos, he won't islamise anyone.

We all know Tinubu is one of the most liberal competent leader out there.

The southeast (Anambra especially) that claims to be Christian yet are discriminating against Kumuyi coming into Anambra. The hypocrisy. They don't even tolerate others in their region whereas Tinubu is someone who tolerated them a lot and even had Igbos in his cabinet. Hateful lots.

And so Three Muslims at the hem of power in a nation with mixed religion. Abegy shift let's see road. Three Muslims deciding a nation filled with two major religion . What's the point of this reminder Why not look at how these Muslims have surrounded Nigeria with their fellow Muslims in sensitive position. Cos you give a crumb to one christian we should automatically give you a pass to Aso villa. Nonsense.
