2027: Babachir Considers Voting for Sowore, Rules Out APC, ADC, NDC

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 general election, while ruling out support for the All Progressives Congress (APC), African Democratic Congress (ADC), and National Democratic Coalition (NDC).
