Former Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has revealed that Babachir Lawal once visited him in Port Harcourt after President Bola Tinubu chose Kashim Shettima as his running mate.

According to Wike, Lawal was upset because he believed he would be picked as Vice President.

So he expects Tinubu to select him as VP after the ₦250m grass cutting scandal. This man is unreal.

If this allegation is true, then Babachir Lawal deserves a big knock on the head. You embezzled millions of naira under Buhari for mere grass cutting duties that ordinary secondary school students can do for free, and you still want to be VP. WTF?

It is true, but it is the same way Wike got angry and started throwing tantrums after Atiku picked someone else

Its a common knowledge now....he supported BAT in the primary

Each of them in ADC has personal issue with BAT .....Their association has nothing to do with the love of this country .

If BAT has given them food to eat,they will sing different song

Tinubu should have picked him because in terms of corruption Tinubu is on his own league
Re: Wike: Babachir Lawal Was Angry After Tinubu Picked Shettima As VP by Nice2023(m): 6:44pm On Aug 20, 2025
Same man talking almost commited suicide because Atiku didn't pick him as VP.

Wicked politicians.

It is only in this part of the world that kettle will boldly and proudly call pot black
Mr. Wike why were you unhappy with Atiku
Re: Wike: Babachir Lawal Was Angry After Tinubu Picked Shettima As VP by Rexymania(m): 6:46pm On Aug 20, 2025
Wike should work on his voice

Well he should go and get his PVC ready for 2027

I think he said Atiku shouldn't have contested the primaries with him, since they wanted power to come to the south
Re: Wike: Babachir Lawal Was Angry After Tinubu Picked Shettima As VP by Ofunaofu: 6:50pm On Aug 20, 2025
Just like you, Wike, got angry that Atiku didn't choose you as his running mate and decided to work against your own party, the same party that made you who you are today, elevating you from an ordinary agbero in Obiakpo motor Park to a governor

Even when Atiku refused to honour the NWC recommendation, he had no problem with. He only told Iyorcha to make way for a Southern chairmanship since the presidential candidate is from North which they refused.


Just try to be a student of history before disgracing yourself in public angry

Only God knows what Obidients would have been saying had Tinubu committed such a blunder.

Babachir the grass cutter 😂

Baba-chair Lawal will never forgive pbat cos he tot he was the most politically available Christian in the north aside from dogsra

Politicians are like that.

Everything is about self-centredness.
Re: Wike: Babachir Lawal Was Angry After Tinubu Picked Shettima As VP by COEMMA(m): 6:52pm On Aug 20, 2025
That was the reason he gave to the public after Atiku had chosen Okowa
If what he claimed was true, why didn't he make d claim before the election before Atiku chose his running mate

Yakubu dogara, boss mustapha dem plenty Sha... We all expected tinubu to pick a Northern Christian.... Atiku would have defeated him though if he had done that

Tinubu wld have lost the election f he picked a Christian northerner.

How come there is no prominent politician amongst the Christians in the north?

Looking at it from his angel. At no time has any other presidential candidate choosing a muslim/muslim candidate. Him being a top politician in APC who is a Christian would gave felt he had no rival, given that the president was a Muslim.

Yes I dont dispute that, but he(Wike) also got angry when Atku did not pick him eventually and started acting the same way babachir is acting
Re: Wike: Babachir Lawal Was Angry After Tinubu Picked Shettima As VP by Jd10k(m): 7:22pm On Aug 20, 2025
Babachair the Grasscutter man expected Jagaban to pick him as V P just because he happened to be a minority Christian who has never won his polling unit. A man that was dropped by Baba Buhari for gross mismanagement should be rewarded simply for been a fake Christian because his Antecedent is not christ like.

No committee or party organs nominated Babachir Lawal but they did with Wike. Atiku promised to go with the name the party gave him but be reneged.

If not all but most of them are against Tinubu for not calling them to come and eat.

Then you became angry because Atiku didn’t choose you too.
Re: Wike: Babachir Lawal Was Angry After Tinubu Picked Shettima As VP by spencekat(m): 7:41pm On Aug 20, 2025
And you, Wike was angry that Atiku didn't choose you as his running mate.
Re: Wike: Babachir Lawal Was Angry After Tinubu Picked Shettima As VP by Realdeals(m): 7:44pm On Aug 20, 2025
Same with fmr speaker Dogara.
They never believe Tinubu will risk and opt for a Muslim-Muslim ticket.

Wike is not better, because he equally worked against Atiku for picking Okowa and not him.
