All Northern elected officials, including governors, would not be re-elected until they join the African Democratic Congress, the opposition alliance, according to Babachir Lawal, the immediate past secretary to the government of the federation, SGF.

In addition to claiming that the ruling All Progressives Congress has marginalized and ruined the North, Babachir stressed that the majority of Northern elected officials will have no option but to defect to the ADC in advance of the general election in 2027. He made these remarks during an appearance on Trust TV.

“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 the election. I can’t see anywhere.

“Unless they join the ADC, they will not win… simply because they belong to a destructive party. A party that woefully failed to perform,” he said.

He asserts that if the majority of northern governors want to run for office, they must join the ADC.

The former SGF reiterated Rabiu Kwankwaso’s criticism of President Tinubu’s administration, claiming that the administration has intentionally neglected the development of northern Nigeria’s infrastructure. He also said that the opposition party has already discussed the matter with some of the governors.

“Every Nigerian that has anything to do with the North will know that no infrastructure work is going on at any level.

“No projects are going on  at least they are not visible to the eye. Maybe in their imagination, maybe in the spirit ,  but we don’t see it.

“We don’t see any construction work. We don’t see any infrastructure going on. No federal government project whatsoever,” he added.

By pointing out that he and the former Kano governor had a technical background that makes them aware of physical development, Lawal justified Kwankwaso’s earlier claims on neglect.

According to the ZINGTIE, Kwankwaso had criticized President Bola Tinubu’s administration for its alleged disregard for northern Nigeria and its focus on building the southern region, which is where the president is from.
