Former Jigawa State Governor, Sule Lamido, has said that he remains open to any democratic arrangement by patriotic Nigerians to end President Bola Tinubu’s reign in 2027.
He recently revealed that even though he fully supports the coalition of opposition parties, which has adopted the African Democratic Congress (ADC), he intends to remain a PDP member.
Speaking during an interview with Vanguard in Abuja, Lamido shared that his decision to remain at PDP is purely based on his principle as a human being.
According to him, he would be going against a personal principle if he leaves the PDP right now because he helped build the political party from scratch.
He stated that political ingrates are currently doing all they can to kill and bury the party, but he’ll stay at PDP and ensure it survives.
“Yes. I’m open to any arrangement that can confront the APC and rescue Nigeria. I’ll support those who share that goal. I’ll campaign with them. But my platform is the PDP. Even though it’s very sick, I will stay and fight for its survival,” he said.
On whether David Mark did the right thing by resigning, Lamido noted that he made a sacrifice by jumping ship, but he does not intend to go that route.
Lamido concluded by saying that he’ll keep advocating for a united, secure and prosperous Nigeria until it becomes a reality.
“David Mark made his sacrifice by stepping away.
Mine is different—I choose to stay and fight. We’re all making sacrifices in different ways for the same objective.
My take is simple: I want a united, secure, safe, and prosperous Nigeria. That’s what I truly want,” he added.
