A former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Dr Babachir David Lawal has formally resigned from the All Progressives Congress, APC.
However, contrary to speculation, the renowned technocrat and politician said he has not aligned with any political party yet.
Babachir Lawal resigned from APC in a letter to the Chairman of Bangshika Ward of Hong Local Government Area of Adamawa State.
Titled “Letter of Resignation from the APC”, the politician did not give any reason for his current action, though he has had a running battle with President Bola Tinubu over the choice of Muslim- Muslim ticket in the pre-2023 presidential election process.
The letter read in part “My Chairman Sir, I write to formally notify you of my resignation from the All Progressives Congress APC.
“In due course, I will make public my current political affiliations where I plan to join other compatriots to work towards making Nigeria, a better living place for all citizens.
“This resignation takes immediate effect. Please, remain blessed and extend my warm regards to other members of your party”.
It will be recalled that a coalition headed by a former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar had recently adopted the African Democratic Congress, ADC, as a platform for the opposition to wrestle power from the ruling party.
