The former SGF accused the present administration of nepotism and also of creating hardship for Nigerians through its policies.

A former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal has accused the government of President Bola Tinubu of nepotism.

According to him, he has no regrets about not working with the administration of President Bola Tinubu.

He added that if he had been part of the Tinubu government, he might have been killed, sacked or resigned by himself.

The former SGF also criticized the actions and activities of the Tinubu government.

He accused the present administration of nepotism and also of creating hardship for Nigerians through its policies.

“I thank God that I didn’t make the mistake of being in this government ab initio.

“If I were in this government, I probably would have been sacked a long time ago, killed or resigned,” he said on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Monday.

The former member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), who has now joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC), stated that Tinubu is only giving appointments to people from his region/tribe.

He also described the Yoruba people as ungrateful people who don’t acknowledge the contribution of others to their political victory.

“I cannot go to a meeting in which 99 per cent of the participants are Yoruba. The tendency is that they finish the meeting in their language, and I am just sitting there.

“When we were doing the campaign, after he went to Ogun and said ’emi lokan,’ there was a Bola Tinubu platform in which I was participating.

“They started insulting us, saying that northerners are illiterate. So I wrote on that platform that these are the people whose votes we would need.

“The problem with the Yoruba is that when you support them and they win, they behave as if they have subdued you. They will not count your support,” the former SGF said.

Lawal criticized some policies of the Tinubu government, including the fuel subsidy removal, stating that it has pushed many Nigerians into poverty, and the country is yet to see the benefit of the policy.

He also accused Tinubu’s government of still paying subsidies, despite the President’s announcement that they had been removed.
