Former SGF, Babachir Lawal.

Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir Lawal, has said he may consider voting for activist and former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore in the 2027 election, while ruling out support for the All Progressives Congress (APC), the African Democratic Congress (ADC), and the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC).

Lawal made the remarks during an interview with TVC after announcing his resignation from the ADC, citing alleged irregularities in the party’s presidential primary that produced former Vice President Atiku Abubakar as its candidate.

Asked whether he considered a potential Peter Obi-Rabiu Kwankwaso ticket a viable alternative in 2027, Lawal said he was unimpressed by the major political options currently on the table.
