Former SGF Babachir Lawal sharply rebuked TVC presenter Nifemi Oguntoye during a live broadcast on Tuesday. The heated moment unfolded when Oguntoye drew a comparison between the 2019 and 2023 elections, both under President Buhari’s influence, asking, “I didn’t see much difference between what happened then and now.”
Lawal erupted on air: “Shut up! Shut up! Get out! Give me a break! How can you say the Buhari government’s electoral process is the same as Bola Tinubu’s? What’s your problem?”
Undeterred, the reporter replied calmly, “I’ll take ‘get out.’ I’m just trying to have an intellectual conversation with you, Mr. Lawal…”
Lawal, who previously served under Buhari, has recently resigned from the APC, submitting his letter of withdrawal on June 29, 2025, to his ward chairman in Adamawa State.
