Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, has announced his resignation from the African Democratic Congress (ADC). Lawal declared that endorsing the party's presidential candidate would effectively contribute to President Bola Tinubu securing a second term in office.

Lawal's decision marks a significant move within the political sphere, potentially reshaping alliances as the country looks towards the 2027 general elections. His departure from the ADC and his reasoning suggest a strategic calculation aimed at influencing the upcoming political contest.

The resignation also brings into focus the outcome of the ADC's presidential primary, implying that Lawal may not have found the results or the party's chosen candidate to be in alignment with his political objectives or his assessment of the national political climate.
