Babachir Lawal Backs Obi-Kwankwaso Ticket for 2027 Elections

Babachir Lawal, the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, has declared that the presidential ticket of Peter Obi and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso under the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) is the best option for Nigerians ahead of the 2027 general elections. Lawal made this statement on Tuesday after joining the NDC, where he was welcomed by the party’s National Leader, Senator Henry Seriake Dickson (Bayelsa West).

He urged Nigerians concerned about issues such as insecurity, economic hardship, and hunger to support the NDC in electing Obi as president and Kwankwaso as vice-president. Lawal expressed optimism about achieving this goal by May 29, 2027.

Senator Dickson praised Lawal as an experienced politician and mobilizer, noting his valuable contributions to the party's activities and campaigns, particularly in the North-East and North-Central zones.
