Babachir Lawal, a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, said he persuaded Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso to join the African Democratic Congress. He made the statement on Monday during an appearance on Arise Television's Prime Time programme. According to Lawal, Obi was initially hesitant about joining the party but eventually agreed after persuasion. He also said Kwankwaso had reservations about joining the coalition because of Atiku Abubakar's presence in the party.
