Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Babachir Lawal, has revealed that former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, asked him to persuade Peter Obi to join the African Democratic Congress, ADC, and serve as his running mate in the 2027 presidential election.
Lawal made this disclosure during an interview on Diaspora Digital Media.
He was speaking on the events surrounding the opposition coalition and the eventual break-up between the Atiku and Obi camps.
The ex-SGF stated that Atiku proposed that Obi should accept the vice-presidential slot on the ADC platform, with a broader political arrangement that would involve constitutional changes.
