A former governor of Jigawa State and erstwhile Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sule Lamido, has alleged that some members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are working for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC).
“It is a huge challenge. Are the Nigerian people willing? The issues of insecurity, of the economy, of poverty are all there. It is not about the PDP; what is the opinion of the Nigerian people? People have been hired to destroy the PDP, but we are making every effort because right now, we have people who are anti-PDP,” Lamido said in an interview with The Tribune.
He added, “Imagine people like Ortom (former Benue State governor) saying, ‘our leader, Wike, has said we will vote Tinubu in 2027’. Imagine someone in the PDP saying he is going to take a cue from Wike to vote for Tinubu in 2027. People who are in the PDP are also working for the APC and Tinubu. So, it is a very difficult thing.”
Lamido also spoke about the possibility of the PDP returning to power, saying, “If you have those in government who share the same frequency with us, we can confidently say yes, but it depends on who you can identify and we are doing that.”
