On Tuesday, former Secretary General of the Federation Babachir Lawal joined the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), defying his previous allegiance to the All Progressive Congress (ADC). Lawal's defection came after a meeting with NDC National Leader Senator Seriake Dickson at the senator's residence in Abuja. Lawal had earlier resigned from the ADC on June 1 due to Atiku Abubakar's emergence as the party's presidential candidate.
Despite previously expressing support for the Obi-Kwankwaso ticket if Atiku returned from his sabbatical, Lawal now stated his belief that anyone with Nigeria's best interests in mind should join a party that represents the future. He highlighted the country's ongoing struggles with insecurity, hunger, ignorance, and disease, and argued that supporting Peter Obi and Atiku as candidates is the only sensible choice.
Lawal emphasized that all sensible and patriotic Nigerians should understand the importance of partnering with the NDC to ensure the election of Obi as president and Kwankwaso as vice president. He expressed his hope that Nigerians would celebrate their victory on May 29, 2027, for the betterment of the nation and future generations.
