The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in Jigawa State during the 2023 general elections, Mustapha Sule Lamido has obtained the party’s nomination form to contest again in 2027.
Lamido formally presented the nomination form to members of the PDP State Working Committee and other key stakeholders, seeking their endorsement and support ahead of the next election cycle.
His move effectively puts to rest earlier speculation about a possible defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC), following reports that he had been in discussions with the ruling party.
Finding revealed that, the move has failed after the parties failed to reached agreement.
He told the Jigawa PDP stakeholders that he has concluded all consultations and resolved to seek the party’s approval to stand as its gubernatorial flagbearer in the next election.
“We are PDP card-carrying members, and we believe in our party’s philosophy, strength, and resilience to tackle its internal challenges and also surmount the problems militating against Jigawa and Nigeria if given the chance again.”
“We have confidence in our party, and we believe the people of Jigawa and Nigerians believe in it as well. No other party has ever brought projects and programs that improve their lives like that of PDP”.”
“All other political parties that got power after the PDP have failed woefully. Instead of addressing the social, economic, and security challenges militating against the country, they unfortunately ended up aggravating the situation through their poor leadership.”
Mustaph Sule Lamido then solicited the support of all PDP members in the state and assured them that he will continue to preach the PDP’s fundamental philosophy, anchored around patriotism and service to humanity.
