Adamu Tanimu, a prominent stakeholder in the African Democratic Congress, has criticized the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, over his controversial remarks following the party's recent national internal election outcomes.
According to a video posted on the official YouTube channel of Trust TV on Saturday, June 27, 2026, while reacting to the public grievances raised by Babachir Lawal regarding the party processes, he stated, “because the candidate you supported for the presidency did not win the presidential primaries, you now want to scatter everywhere.”
The political analyst noted that internal party friction often increases when influential leaders fail to secure victory for their preferred choices, leading to public disagreements that can potentially affect the broader cohesion of the political movement.
Tanimu argued that true democratic principles require all participating members to respect the final outcome of internal delegates' votes, rather than engaging in media campaigns that challenge the collective decisions made by institutional stakeholders.
The opposition official suggested that personal interests should not overshadow the collective goals of the political organization, especially as preparations intensify for the crucial general elections scheduled to take place across the country.
He further observed that the public comments from aggrieved members rarely change the established legal outcomes of properly conducted party processes, but instead create unnecessary distractions for the electorate looking for viable alternative platforms.
In his concluding remarks, Tanimu urged all party faithful to remain focused on the unifying agenda of the political coalition and avoid divisive rhetoric that undermines regional stability and internal democratic growth within the country.
