Six governorship candidates of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in the North-East have rejected the appointment of former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Engr. Babachir Lawal, as the party’s leader in the subregion.

The governorship candidates, in a joint statement addressed to the national leadership of the party, Senator Henry Seriake Dickson, made available to journalists on Sunday, stated that they would not recognise Babachir Lawal in the position, describing their decision as “collective, firm and final.”

The candidates on Sunday declared that the appointment was made without consultation with them or other key stakeholders who, according to them, had been directly involved in building the party’s structures and mobilising support across their respective states.

“After due consideration, we have unanimously resolved not to recognise Engr. Babachir Lawal as the Leader of the NDC in the North-East, and we will not recognise him as such,” they stated.

They argued that politics is local and urged the national leadership to take into account the views of those directly involved in the party’s activities and electoral mobilisation across the region.

The gubernatorial candidates further expressed concern that the appointment could affect the party’s electoral prospects in the North-East, saying they were of the view that the decision would not add electoral value to the party in the region.

According to them, consultations with the governorship candidates before the appointment would have enabled the national leadership to better understand the political realities and concerns in the six states.

They therefore appealed to the national leadership to review the appointment and engage the affected governorship candidates in the interest of party unity, cohesion and the strengthening of the NDC ahead of the 2027 elections.

The statement was signed by Aishatu Dahiru Ahamed of Adamawa State, Barr. Ibrahim Muhammad Kashim of Bauchi State, Real Admiral S. Kashim Ibrahim (Rtd) of Borno State, Dr. Babayo Ardo of Gombe State, Prof. Mohammed Sani of Taraba State and Ibrahim M. Shitu of Yobe State.

The candidates, while acknowledging the efforts of the NDC national leadership in providing a platform for political participation ahead of the 2027 elections, maintained that their objection to Lawal’s appointment remained unchanged.

“For the avoidance of doubt, our position is collective, firm and final: we do not recognise Engr. Babachir Lawal as the Leader of the NDC in the North-East, and we will not recognise him as such,” they concluded.

Laff want comot my teeth.

Watch how they somehow relate their confusion with Tinubu.

It is indeed a pleasure to witness them in such a disarray.

They will soon blame president TINUBU for the rejection again

Let the people choose by themselves

Who doesn't know Babachir Lawal is a mole.

All these opposition parties get too many internal problem. With all these nonsenses, how can defeat Tinubu?

This is the kind of fictitious story that give data bois erection on this forum....yer they claim NDC is inconsequential....what an irony.

The grass cutter is rejected everywhere he goes

Dickson is working against his own party

babachir lawal the feather weight politician who as no political influence even in his village……NDC keeps attracting political orphans btw let’s wait for them to come and blame Tinubu and Lagos/Ibadan media for this new development

Just because he is a Christian. NDC is a party of religious bigots from top to bottom.

It like without winning elections in Nigeria parties do get money from federal government. Am asking this because all this opposition partiea are not serious at all. By this time, they are still having intern probs. Later we will be hearing they rig election up and down

Between babachir lawal and dele momodu who has higher electoral value?? 😆. Why are they giving him such roles?. NDC leadership is not serious at all. ObI made the wrong step. He should have fixed Lp. He can't get such platform that Lp offered him anywhere again.

ONE OF THEM MUST BE WORKING FOR APC AS A SPOILER

Gala and malt collector, APC supporters will laugh at your misfortune and then beat you silly in the election.

It is his own party, not yours, nor Peter Obi's.

If you are not comfortable with his decisions, you can get out.

Alright, let’s just say it’s a straightforward, slightly cheeky, assessment of the NDC contenders. Pretty solid.

Babachir is a mole sent by Atiku to nail Obi.
Obi is a mole sent by the winner of the next election to cut Atiku's votes in the East.

The misfortune is more in the southwest area, mothers wearing white clothes begging for a living without shame from Lagos to shagamu, to ibadan down to ile ife.........I really empathize with you people

Senator Dickson is the promoter of a political party that the Agulu messiah intends to use to become president of The Federal Republic of Nigeria .

When you go low, I go lower.

It's a good thing that they can even debate the decisions of the leadership of the party.

Unlike one party where nobody has a say.

Once "Our Leader" says something, everybody concurs like a zombie.

Sen. Dickson should be careful about the type of people that he is inviting/accepting into the NDC, all these persons of questionable characters who have lost the trust of the masses will just make people feel NDC is just another PDP/APC.

Nigerians want something different.

New wine in a new wine skin.

The Agulu grasscutter is looking for an SPV but he has forgotten that as at when he was washing plates for Mbadinuju, Dickson was already a senior politician.

If this isn’t political fraud, he has also informed the SPV of his intention to do a single term in office

This Agulu Gringory.
