Babachir Lawal, a former secretary to the government of the federation, has indicated why he chose to support Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, for the February 25 election after recognising that he is the “light.”
The former SGF stated that he saw the light and left the darkness while referring to his former party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), and the main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), as the old system that “represents darkness” on Friday while explaining why he left the APC to support Obi on Channels Television’s The 2023 Verdict programme.

“I have seen the light, you can repent when you see the light, I saw the light and repented. The light is Peter Obi; the darkness is the old system that used to govern us which is represented by both the PDP and APC. Same people, same agbada, same red caps, so Nigerians have seen the light not only me.
“In the life of a people that are so oppressed living under indescribable insecurity, poverty, ignorance, hunger and diseases, a time comes when they get fed up and little thing will just ignite the flame and there is conflagration. I can tell you Peter Obi is that conflagration in Nigeria because every Nigerian has come to realize there is no way we can continue the way we are going,” Lawal said.
The former SGF explained that the President Mohammadu Buhari administration, of which he was a member, did not work smoothly and did not meet expectations.
“The expectation was that based on the president’s antecedent as former governor of Borno State, former Minister of Petroleum and then President, but when he got in I think he had issues with some of his lieutenants about who executes the orders he gives and who executes the policies that he makes,” Lawal claimed.
