Former Governor of Jigawa State, Alhaji Sule Lamido, has reaffirmed his commitment to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), declaring that he remains a loyal member of the party and is willing to work for any arrangement within or outside it to secure Nigeria in 2027.
Lamido made the declaration while speaking with journalists in Kano.
“I am PDP. I will remain in PDP. Even though PDP has got some problems. I am PDP by flesh, soul and bone.
“I can’t simply walk out of my skin and crawl in flesh and blood and be conferred with a smaller skin called ADC.I cannot,” he said.
He said he would support any candidate, within or outside PDP, under any arrangement that would work to save Nigeria.
He noted that for any country to achieve stability, its components must trust each other and remain united.
“We need a country which is united, where there is trust, love for each other and respect.To me, we should come together for democracy, unity, stability, security and prosperity.” he said
He recalled that despite all he faced because of the PDP, including imprisonment, detention, harassment, blackmail, humiliation of his family, and his house about to be burnt, he remains committed to the party.
“PDP made me a governor and a minister. The party is transparent and is for Nigeria, not for individuals, and it always strives to do what is right,” he said.
Speaking on the issue of creating new states, he said there are more pressing challenges such as insecurity, poverty, hunger, unity and cohesion.
“If these issues are addressed, I have no problem with the creation of new states,” he said.
