A former Secretary to the Government of the Federation and National Vice Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Babachir Lawal, has stated that both the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will be defeated in the 2027 election.

Lawal stated this on Saturday while receiving former governorship candidate of the Action Alliance in Kogi State, Otunba Olayinka Braimoh, who defected to the ADC

He described the APC as a new haven for fugitives fleeing from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

“It is my belief that more patriots will soon join us even as the PDP self-destructs and the APC becomes a haven for EFCC fugitives,” he said.

He accused the APC of being “delusional,” claiming that its only mantra was to “write election results even before elections begin.”

“This is pure delusion because it will not happen. Nigerians will back us to frustrate any criminal manipulation of the 2027 election results,” he asserted.

Lawal, however, warned that not every politician defecting from other parties would be accepted into the ADC, “lest they corrupt our ideals with attitudes imbibed from their corrupt, undemocratic home parties.”

He described the ADC as “a party of visionaries and patriots who are fed up with the direction of the country under the leadership of PDP and APC.”

“Every patriotic Nigerian now understands that our country has reached the edge of a cliff. The ADC offers Nigerians an opportunity to make a U-turn, recalibrate, and redirect our governance toward a progressive, people-centric system,” Lawal stated.

The former SGF took a swipe at the Adamawa State Government, saying that in over six years of Governor Ahmadu Fintiri’s administration, there were “no people-oriented projects.”

“All we get from over six years of PDP governance is a couple of flyovers carrying scanty traffic despite billions of naira accruing to the state. Sometimes, I wonder whether the money leaves Abuja for Yola at all,” he said.
