Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation SGF, Babachir Lawal, has stated that all elected officials in the North, including governors seeking re-election, will not be re-elected unless they join the opposition African Democratic Congress.
Speaking during an interview on Trust TVs Sunday Politics, Lawal said the ruling All Progressives Congress has destroyed and maginalised the North, adding that most elected officials in the North will be left with no choice but to defect to the ADC ahead of the 2027 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 cant 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."
