Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, has declared that Northern elected officials, including governors seeking re-election, must join the opposition African Democratic Congress (ADC) to win in 2027.
In an interview on Trust TV’s Sunday Politics, Lawal criticized the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), accusing it of marginalizing and undermining the North.
He argued that the APC’s actions have left Northern leaders with no option but to defect to the ADC to secure their political future in the upcoming general election.
“Which northern elected official will go to campaign on the platform of the APC this coming election? Nobody. Unless ab initio, you have no plan to win election. I can’t see anywhere,” he said.
Asked if his claim applies to governors seeking re-election, he said, “Unless they join the ADC, they will not win…simply because they belong to a destructive party. A party that woefully failed to perform.”
The former SGF said most northern governors will have to join the ADC if they intend to contest the election. He revealed that the opposition party has already discussed with some of the governors.
