ADC: Hayatu-Deen more competent, experienced than Atiku – Babachir Lawal 

Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Babachir Lawal, has declared that a presidential aspirant of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Mohammed Hayatu-Deen, is more competent than the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

Lawal said Atiku’s experience can’t be compared to Hayatu-Deen’s wealth of experience.

Featuring on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Monday, Lawal said Atiku and Hayatu-Deen are not on the same level.

Asked if Hayatu-Deen is more competent than Atiku, Lawal said: “Hayatu-Deen is more competent than Atiku. They can’t even be in the same boat.

“They are not on the same boat and not possibly talking of the same sea. For years, he was Chairman of the Nigerian Economic Summit Group, NESG.”

Atiku and Hayatu-Deen participated in the recent ADC’s presidential primary election aimed at deciding the party’s flag bearer for the 2027 election.

While Atiku emerged the winner after polling the highest number of votes, Hayatu-Deen came third behind former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, who came second.
