Lamido, a prominent chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, asserted that he will support Peter Obi if the Labour Party chieftain emerges as the standard bearer of the ADC coalition
The former governor of Jigawa state and chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has expressed willingness to support Peter Obi in the 2027 presidential election should he emerge as the standard bearer of the coalition.
Lamido spoke after the Middle Belt Forum said may have no choice than to stick with Peter Obi, noting that the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 elections has a track record fulfilling campaign promises.
Reacting, Lamido, said: “If the coalition produces Peter Obi or anyone else committed to rescuing Nigeria, I will support them. But I remain PDP. We should have outgrown tribal and regional sentiments.
“Leadership should be about competence and vision, not geography. What has the North gained from producing the most presidents if the region remains underdeveloped? I’m open to any arrangement that can confront the APC and rescue Nigeria. I’ll support those who share that goal.”
Speaking further, the former governor explained that zoning between the North and South was a creation of the PDP designed to solve a specific problem which was the annulment of the June 12 election, Vanguard reported.
According to Sule Lamido, “It was meant to be a healing mechanism, a temporary measure to restore trust. But now, it has become an albatross.”
Yeah, Mr. Lamido!
Mr. Peter Obi is the only presidential candidate that I am convinced that can fix Nigeria to it’s original shape and also bring it to a standard for the comfortability of the citizens.
PLEASE, MY FELLOW NIGERIANS, LET’S KEEP ASIDE THE TRIBE AND BE REALISTIC FOR THE TRUE CANDIDATE THAT CAN DELIVER THIS COUNTRY NIGERIA.
Thanks and remain blessed as we memorize and follow up for the positivity of this GREAT NATION NIGERIA THROUGH THE RIGHT CANDIDATE.
