Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, has defected to the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), three months after leaving the African Democratic Congress (ADC) over allegations of rigged presidential primaries. Lawal announced his move in Abuja on Tuesday and declared support for the NDC presidential ticket of Peter Obi and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso ahead of the 2027 general elections. He urged Nigerians concerned about insecurity, hunger, and economic hardship to rally behind the NDC. Lawal said that any patriotic Nigerian would join a party that represents the future with Peter and Kwankwaso as candidates.
