Babachir Lawal Joins NDC, Backs Obi and Kwankwaso
On September 23, 2026, Babachir Lawal, the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, officially joined the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) after resigning from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) due to alleged manipulation of its presidential primary. Lawal expressed his support for the NDC's presidential candidates, Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso, emphasizing the need for Nigerians to unite against challenges such as insecurity and hunger.
During the announcement in Abuja, he urged citizens to back a party that represents a hopeful future. The NDC, under the leadership of Seriake Dickson, welcomed Lawal, recognizing his experience and mobilization skills in Nigerian politics.
The party is currently organizing to compile lists of polling agents for the upcoming National Assembly, governorship, and state House of Assembly elections, with a deadline for submission set within two weeks.
