Babachir Lawal Joins NDC to Support Peter Obi's Candidacy
Babachir Lawal, the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, announced his departure from the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to join the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in support of its presidential candidate, Peter Obi. Lawal made this statement on Tuesday during his formal induction into the NDC by Senator Henry Seriake Dickson.
He expressed his discontent with the APC's choice of presidential candidates, stating that he remained with the party during Muhammadu Buhari's candidacy due to his integrity. However, Lawal became disillusioned when the APC selected a candidate he believed prioritized personal interests over Nigeria's.
He also left the ADC due to dissatisfaction with the selection process for its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar. Lawal emphasized his concerns for the future of Nigeria and the living conditions of its citizens, which ultimately led him to support Obi, whom he regards as a politician of integrity.
