Former Governor of Jigawa State and a founding figure of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Sule Lamido, has declared unflinching support for the opposition coalition backed alliance, the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Lamido said the collaboration among opposition forces is driven by a deep concern for Nigeria’s stability, not personal ambitions.
While speaking with journalists in Dutse, the Jigawa State capital, Lamido revealed tha the alliance is a timely and necessary response to the growing hardship many Nigerians face under the current administration.
“Any patriotic Nigerian with the common man in his heart must give his contribution to overturn the present administration to save the country—particularly the ordinary people, who are suffering in every sector,” he stated.
Lamido maintained that despite backing the coalition, he has no intention of leaving the PDP.”
“I remain in PDP. It is the party we gave birth to, nurtured, and one that delivered progress to Nigeria and Nigerians. I will not leave it,” Lamido stated.
The elder statesman described his present role in national discourse as one of mentorship and guidance, saying he is more focused on shaping the country’s future than seeking political office.
Lamido’s remarks came at a political gathering held by the PDP in Dutse.
He was alongside Senator Mustapha Khabeeb, who currently represents Jigawa South West at the National Assembly.
The event also featured Alhaji Kabiru Hussaini, the Jigawa State Chairman of the ADC, whom Lamido introduced to PDP members
